Solo hiking through the valleys of the Nepal Himalayas, and to the top of Pikey Peak, just below Everest. Join me for part one of my Everest Base Camp Trek (Three Passes route) as I experience authentic Nepalese village life, summit the lesser-known Pikey Peak, and go hiking with dogs, goats, yaks, and donkeys through these breathtaking valleys. Trek was in April/May 2023. Gear and more: Behind the Scenes: Route: While lengthening my Everest Base Camp Trek in the upper Himalayas by one week, I was able to trek through all of these spectacular valleys and authentic villages. Instead of flying to Lukla and skipping these parts, I walked in from Dhap, a village much lower in the valley. While trekking through these villages and valleys over the course of a week, I had the privilege of experiencing true village life all to myself. Plus, my first breathtaking view of Mount Everest was from atop Pikey Peak, where I was completely alone. --- 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:42 - Kathmandu 0:02:58 - Asan Market 0:05:19 - Drive to Dhap 0:06:06 - Dhap Village Life 0:09:03 - Dhap to Bhulbule 0:11:05 - Bhulbule Village Life 0:14:43 - Bhulbule to Pikey Peak Base Camp 0:17:23 - Pikey Peak Base Camp 0:21:16 - Pikey Peak Summit 0:24:12 - Pikey Peak to Junbesi 0:27:00 - Junbesi Village Life 0:39:11 - Junbesi to Bumburi 0:43:35 - Bumburi Village Life 0:51:17 - Bumburi to Surke 0:56:44 - Surke 0:59:25 - Conclusion --- Music licensed via #nepal #hiking #himalayas #villagelife
