About Pikey Peak Trek

The 11-day Pikey Peak Trek is a newly opened route in the lower Everest region that has remained undiscovered in the shadows for a long time. Recently, it has gained popularity as one of the best short treks in Nepal due to its magnificent mountain scenery. Sir Edmund Hillary claimed the view from the top of Pikey Peak to be his best.

During the trek, you will experience the rich culture of the Sherpas, Tamangs, and Magars, known for their warm hospitality. The trail passes through beautiful rhododendrons and pine forests, charming settlements of the Sherpas, Tamangs, and Magars, Buddhist stupas, mani walls, etc. From the top of Pikey Peak (4067 M), you can enjoy a panoramic view of various Himalayan ranges from east to west, including the seven 8000-plus meter 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). The best time to ascend to the top is in the morning, allowing you to witness the sun's rays dancing over the mighty peaks.

This trek is ideal for those with limited time as it can be completed within a week.

Fun and adventurous

Here’s a picture of the last evening after a one week trek in the Everest region. Me and my friends (4 in total) greatly appreciated Suresh’s organization. Not only were we in good hands but we really had fun and enjoyed the company of the guides (Suresh and Sitaram) and of the bag carriers (Aitaram and Taiga): we chatted, laughed, played cards, visited Bouddhist temples, ate together. More than just assistants, they all were great companions. The choice of the Pikey Peak trek was great: we had great weather, clear sky, amazing view on the mountains. It was all very pleasant. I and my friends particularly enjoyed the quality of the food in the various lodges we stayed in. We had a great time and keep thousands of anecdotes and memories. Thanks again Suresh and see you next time. Jean-Gérard
