Pikey Peak Trek offers a newly discovered and remarkable trekking route in the Everest region, which remains relatively unexplored by tourists. The summit of Pikey Peak provides breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, Gaurishankar, Lhotse, Nuptse, Numbur, Sishapangma, Thamserku, and Mera Peak.
According to Pikey Peak summiteers, the most spectacular views of Everest can be witnessed from this peak, situated at an altitude of 4065m in Solu Khumbu, the lower part of the Everest Region. Unlike the strenuous Everest Base Camp Trek, Pikey Peak Trek offers a more manageable experience, allowing you to explore the beauty of the Everest region in just a week.
The journey commences at Dhap and traverses through Jhapre, Junbensi, and Phaplu villages where you will rest for the night. The path winds through verdant valleys and forests adorned with pine and rhododendron trees. If time allows, you may also pay a visit to Thupten Choling Monastery, where you can witness various Buddhist ceremonies and recitations.
Another notable aspect of this trek is the absence of altitude sickness risks, as the highest point of the trek is only 4070 meters above sea level. Similarly, you need not worry about flight cancellations and delays, as you can drive from Kathmandu to the starting point of the trek, Dhap, and from the trek's endpoint, Phaplu, you can drive back to Kathmandu.
Indulge in a week-long retreat amidst the tranquility of nature. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life as you immerse yourself in the majestic presence of the Himalayan mountains
