And during Spring the weather is quite clear and the peaks are\noften visible and the temperature is warm and just ideal for a trek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spring Season(April-May):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spring months are\nprobably the most popular in the region as a whole. You might be caught in the\noccasional snow showers if you catch the end of the winter season, but the\nweather should be largely stable and dry- perfect for trekking and high\naltitude climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Autumn Season(September-November):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clear days are\ncharacteristic of this popular trekking period. Although colder days(and colder\nnights) are to be expected, this is a small price to pay for the wonderful\nvistas and perfect views of the region peaks. And added bonus of trekking\nduring this time is the option to choose some other, less well-known routes in\nthe area that still offer amazing views but without the hustle and bustle of\nthe more popular routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winter Season(Dec-Feb):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The region during this\nperiod can best be described as being very cold but still is trekkable. The days\nwill be shorter and there is a lot more snow, thus routes that involve crossing\nbig passes like the three passes trek are usually closed.The weather will be\nfairly stable and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summer Season\/Monsoon Season(June-August):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer may sound like\nthe prime time to visit the peak, but it is also monsoon season during which\nthe mountain can receive large amounts of rainfall. During the monsoon season,\nthe&nbsp; peak is, more often than not,\nshrouded in mist. Although a trek is doable during this season, it is quite\ndifficult as the slippery trails, leeches and the lack of mountain views are\njust about enough reasons in off-putting most trekkers from trekking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pikey_Peak_Trek_Difficulty\"><\/span> <strong>Pikey Peak Trek Difficulty<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a plain\nwalking surface and like most typical treks in Nepal there\u2019s a lot of going up\nand down and peak climbing are usually challenging. The distance you cover does\nnot require super fitness, the altitude does however make it tough. And also\nhaving a strong mind set is also very important while trekking in these parts of\nthe mountains. Pikey Peak Trek is influenced by; your pack weight, a porter can\nmake it much easier and season, if you\u2019re cold and miserable then it is\ndefinitely harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up you will\nbe walking 5 to 8 hours a day for 20 days, with a resting day or two for\nacclimatization. If you are reasonably fit you should be able to do this to\ncarry your own backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipping_GuidePorter\"><\/span> <strong>Tipping Guide\/Porter<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Nepal tipping is not mandatory but it is\nexpected as major earning or saving funds is the tips for the guide\/porter.

It is wise to climb slower to prevent it. As, it is very common on the Pikey Peak  trek and can happen to anybody, irrespective of how old or fit you are or if you have previous trekking experience. So, here are some ways to prevent Altitude Sickness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Hydration<\/strong>&#8211;      Drink plenty of water, it&#8217;s very important to stay hydrated.<\/li><li><strong>Trekking Pace<\/strong>&#8211;      Walk at your own pace, take your time, don\u2019t go too fast.<\/li><li><strong>Eat carbs<\/strong>&#8211;      It\u2019s not often we\u2019re told to eat extra carbohydrates but when you\u2019re at      higher altitudes, you need more calories.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid Alcohol<\/strong>&#8211;      Alcohol,cigarettes and medications like sleeping pills can make altitude      sickness symptoms worse. So, avoid it.<\/li><li><strong>Medication<\/strong>&#8211;      Taking acetazolamide(Diamox)two days before the trip and during your trip      can help prevent altitude sickness. Acetazolamide is a medication      typically used to treat glaucoma. But is also used to prevent altitude      sickness.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_Pikey_Peak_Treks\"><\/span> <strong>Alternatives to Pikey Peak Treks?<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from Pikey Peak\ntrek there are other plenty trekking options that one might like to consider as\nthe Annapurna region is itself is a very beautiful and adventurous place.
