Discovering Authentic Everest | Pikey Peak Silent Hike, Nepal Himalaya

Silent 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 Three Passes trek 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.

While lengthening my Three Passes 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.

Another awesome videos which most other travel videos fail to show. Most of us are so used to seeing same Lukla - Everest Basecamp trek like a mantra On Mani Padme Hung inscribed on the prayer wheels and rocks.

So true! Thank you so much 💛🙏 In my next video I will visit EBC but I will take a long and unusual route away from the popular path. Hope you like it too 🙂

[@tintinlol7881]

It is clear that you get along with kids and animals. I believe that's because you have a beautiful kind heart.

[@MichaelLoda]

Yet another amazing film! I loved the Pikey Peak Summit part, wonderful shots. Hiking videos are great not only to watch beautiful mountains but also to explore people's lives along the way, you did a great job at that. I hope the monastery will find money to rebuild. Nepal is amazing, can't wait for Part 2 (there will be some serious trekking from what I've seen on the route map). It's actually wiser to divide such a film into few parts for channel growth, 1hr is still long enough. I also appreciate how you care and respond to every comment. Cheers from Poland, can't wait to one day travel there too...

[@NicholasEager]

Thank you so much Michael! Your comments always inspire me to keep following my passion. I am working on part 2 now and I can't wait to share it. Thank you for your support 💛🙏

Thank you for exploring hidden Nepal. There are many underated place in Nepal where people can explore beautiful landscape, mountain and many more in short track and lower altitude then ABC & EBC but it's doesn't appear in main stream media and careless government. People are trying to promote from local lvl and some KZbin channel like @Ghumante and many more which is effective in local lvl but can't reaching at international lvl. Once more thank you for your efforts.👍🏻

Hi, Nicholas! Big fan here! Your filmmaking abilities are beyond comparison. Many of the frames in the film are astounding even as standalone pictures.

[@catherinestokoe3880]

Your film has stirred something very deep in me. I’m a single mum with a sick kid so travelling has been off the cards for years. Watching your film has enabled me to internalise the mountains, the valleys, the snow, the sky, and that wise blonde Yak at the end of the film…..and the wonderful mystery of the yeti? The book ‘The Snow Leopard ‘ had a similar effect. I’m sure you’ve read it? Thank you again and again and again. 😊

[@NicholasEager]

I'm so touched to hear that the video has resonated with you deeply. It means a lot to me that you were able to experience the beauty and mystery of the Himalayas through the film. "The Snow Leopard" is a beautiful book, and I'm glad the video brought back those feelings for you. Wishing you and your kid all the best. Stay strong! ❤️
