The temperatures are moderate, and the conditions are favorable for hiking. Autumn is also known as the post-monsoon season, so the air is crisp and clean after the rains, providing stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains and landscapes.
Dudh Kunda Pikey peak trek is possible during the summer and winter seasons but can be more challenging compared to the preferred trekking seasons of spring and autumn. Summer is not the most recommended time due to the challenging weather conditions and potential risks involved. Winter season can be suitable for experienced trekkers but you have to prepare for the cold conditions and have the appropriate gear and equipment.
However, the weather and trail conditions may not be as favorable and you may encounter more challenges, such as rain and snow during the winter months (December to February) or the possibility of monsoon rains and leeches during the summer months (June to August).

It is not a challenging trekking route compared with other trekking routes but altitude sickness is potential anxiety to all trekkers to reach the both places. You have to walk uphill and downhill in the higher elevation, which makes it tough to walk.
The trekking trails are unfamiliar in the forest and village which makes it difficult to find the right trail in a few places.

As a result, trekkers should be prepared to rely on a combination of lodges and camping for their accommodation needs. The trek takes you through remote areas with limited facilities and services. It's crucial to be self-sufficient and carry essential supplies, including water and snacks.
The walking distance also depends on your fitness level, the terrain, elevations and destination. Normally the walking hours range is 4 to 8 hours a day during the Dudh Kunda Pikey Peak Trek. Anyway our guide manages the tea-house and tent for accommodation, resting place of rest, acclimatization day to manage high altitude, slow walk, and short easy steps to complete the trip without any stress.

The Nepal Rastra Bank controls all exchange rates (Center Bank of Nepal). You can exchange small amounts of money at the hotel if you want to. Because our banks will not take dirty or old notes, kindly bring clean and fresh notes.
In order to avoid the time-consuming processes associated with cards and traveler's checks, Nepalese people typically prefer cash in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and other locations. You can use an ATM to get cash (in Nepali Rupees) if you have a credit or debit card. In the main tourist city, there are a number of ATM counters with 24-hour service. If you use a card, the maximum withdrawal amount is between 30,000 and 35,000 rupees at once, plus a processing fee of 500 rupees.

Nepal hiking tours: The difficulty levels of the Himalayas range from easy to tough. As a result of the Himalayan climate changing, there is a risk of high altitude and potential mishap.
Trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas demands practical trekking abilities at high altitudes (above 4,000 meters), so travel insurance is essential.

Therefore, you must ensure that your insurance covers the price of an air ambulance, medical care, and any risks associated with travel, such as delayed flights and lost, stolen, damaged, or missing baggage. Your complete itinerary while visiting Nepal should be covered by your insurance policy. Make sure your insurance policy covers hikes higher than 5,500 meters. If not, you will be responsible for all unforeseen costs associated with your trek through Nepal.
All trekkers must send a copy of their certificate from their comprehensive travel insurance policy to High Pass Adventure as part of the booking process for trekking and climbing in Nepal.

Dudh Kunda Pikey Peak Trekking Experience!!!
27th July, 2023
Trekking to the Dudh Kunda sacred lake via Pikey Peak with guide Ganesh was a wonderful trekking experience. We had chosen High Pass Adventure Trekking Agency to do this trek. The trekking organization was perfect in all senses from beginner to end due to our guide Ganesh professionalism and experience.
The trekking days of 7th and 8th were the best of amazing views and excellent food, crossing beautiful rhododendron and pine until the holy lake, where we had a well-deserved day of rest for the team and an adventurous exploration day for us, the journey was filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and cultural encounters
We strongly recommend High Pass Adventure as your next travel companion.
