Communication on Pikey Peak Trek is essential for staying safe, reachable, and connected. However, mobile signals and internet access can be unreliable due to altitude, weather, and remote locations.
Most parts of the trail have mobile coverage, but it can be unstable. Nepal Telecom (NTC) usually provides the best connectivity in high-altitude areas, while Ncell works better at lower elevations and in towns.
Most teahouses provide Wi-Fi, which is often more reliable than mobile networks, but it comes at a fee of USD 2–7 (NPR 400–1200) per device. Speeds may be slow when multiple trekkers are connected simultaneously.
