Solu Khumbu is a mountainous district in northeastern Nepal, home to the world's highest peaks including Mount Everest (8,849 m), Lhotse, and Cho Oyu. It is the heartland of the Sherpa people, whose culture, monasteries, and high-altitude expertise are deeply woven into the region's identity. Trekkers from around the world come to follow the classic Everest Base Camp trail, crossing iconic landmarks like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery. Beyond trekking, the region draws mountaineers, adventure photographers, and altitude enthusiasts seeking some of the most dramatic Himalayan scenery on Earth.

Pikey Peak Trek: Self-Launched 9-Day Independent Himalaya Adventure

A self-launched version of the classic 9-day Pikey Peak trek — a lower, quieter alternative to Everest Base Camp with sunrise views of Everest, Numbur Himal and the whole Solu Khumbu range. You'll arrange your own TIMS card and Sagarmatha National Park permits, ride a local jeep or bus to Dhap, then walk teahouse-to-teahouse through rhododendron forest, Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries. No guide or group needed: the trail is well-marked, teahouses are plentiful, and locals are used to independent trekkers. Costs below are rough backpacker estimates in GBP.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
