Pikey Peak Trek - 7 Days

Pikey Peak Trek is an exciting journey through the southern part of the Solu-Khumbu district, in the Everest region. The viewpoint at Pikey Peak (4070 meters/13,353 feet) offers a unique perspective of Mount Everest (8848.86 meters/29,029 feet), the highest mountain in the world. When we say unique perspective, we mean a truly mind-boggling panorama of the colossal mountain in all its glory. The stark ridges and jagged edges are crisp and clear. This view is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what this trail offers.

The recently opened trail is a quiet getaway from Kathmandu and even other treks in the Khumbu region. Seldom do trekkers take this route, which allows for a tranquil vibe during the excursion. It is an easy trail that, with basic hiking experience, most people can do. Relish in the unpopulated trails before it's discovered by the masses!

The lack of trekkers also allows for more authentic interactions between you and the local villagers, who are mostly of the Sherpa ethnic group. As Tibetan Buddhism flourishes in this area and is integrated into all parts of their lives, the trail is full of chorten, mani walls, prayer flags, and elegant monasteries. If you want to make the trek while one of the many colorful festivals takes place, ask us for the details and we will set that up!

The highlight of the trek is reaching Pikey Peak, where seven 8,000+ meter peaks lie right before your eyes. Kanchenjunga (8586 meters), Makalu (8481 meters), Lhotse (8516 meters), Everest (8848 meters), Shishapangma (8013 meters), and Annapurna I (8091 meters), and countless other slightly smaller peaks. It is one of the best spots in the world to see the Himalayas. Come check it out! From here, we head to Phaplu and drive back to Kathmandu.

Our Pikey Peak Trek package is a complete teahouse Trek. Where there are newly built guesthouses, we can stay there. If you want, we can organize a camping trek to Pikey Peak at your request. On the camping trek, we will be camping outside under a tent. Release your attachments to your normal, everyday life and ‘lose yourself in the mountains. For a couple of weeks, forget about the worries you have and live in the moment! Enjoy the views and feel the refreshing mountain breeze.
