Pikey Peak trek is one of the best-selected routes in the lower Khumbu region of Nepal, giving you some of the wondrous sides of Everest and other mountains in this region. Pikey Peak is an alternative for those who lack the physical ability to do the trekking in the higher Everest region. The views of Mt. Everest is absolutely breathtaking from the trails of Pikey Peak and the legendary Sir Edmund Hillary once claimed it to be the best amongst many such viewpoints here. Adventure lovers looking for a vacation in some lesser traveled routes without the uneasiness from altitude sickness can select the Pikey Peak trek.

The Pikey Peak trek is a medium length trekking in Nepal
with some of the best walking paths of Nepal. Starting from Kathmandu, we will
reach the highest point of our trek Pikey Peak (4065 m). The sunrise view over
the Himalayas and the landscape scenery touching the horizon makes this trek
best among any other in the Himalayas. The Sherpa way of life can be
experienced best from this section of the trekking in Nepal. Alongside Everest
we can have a majestic view of the Six other 8,000-meter peak from the trail
namely Lhotse, Makalu, Manaslu, and Annapurna I all the way to Mt. Kanchenjunga
in the east. The streams, waterfalls, terraced farmlands, rustic monasteries,
and welcoming smiles in your every next destination makes the Pikey Peak trek
memorable. We can do the trek all year long and even in winter period avoiding
heavy monsoon for better trail condition. Prepare yourself for a beautiful adventure
of a lifetime with Himalayan Pic Du Midi.
