Duration: 10 Days

About Pikey Peak Trek

The 10-day Pikey Peak Trek is a newly opened trekking route located in the lower Everest region that remained undiscovered in the shadow for a long time. Recently, this trek is becoming one of the best short treks in Nepal because of its easy accessibility from Kathmandu, and the magnificent mountain sceneries. Sir Edmund Hillary claimed the view from the top of Pikey Peak to be his best. 

During the trek, you will be able to experience the rich culture of the Sherpas, Tamangs, and Magars with their warm hospitality. The trekking trail passes through the beautiful rhododendron and pine forest, beautiful settlements of the Sherpas, Tamangs, and Magars, Buddhist stupas, mani walls, etc. From the top of Pikey Peak(4067 M), the panoramic view of various Himalayan ranges from the east to west which include the seven 8000-plus mountains (Mt Everest-8848 M, Kanchenjunga-8586 M, Lhotse-8516 M, Makalu-8463 M, Dhaulagiri-8167 M, Manaslu-8163 M, and Annapurna I-8091 M) can be observed. The best thing to do will be to get up to the top in the morning to see the sun's rays dance over the mighty peaks. For those who are short of time, this is an ideal trek as it can be completed within a week.
