Pikey Peak Trek- Cost and Itinerary
Pikey Peak Trek- Overview
Pikey Peak Trek, a novel Everest Region Trekking, is now every trekker’s favorite trek in Nepal. Trekkings like Everest Base Camp Trek and Gokyo Lakes Trek are the most challenging. But, in the same region, this trek offers the splendid panorama of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and other mountains. Furthermore, it’s one of the most accessible treks in the lower Everest region that takes you to an altitude of just 4,065 meters.
Trekkers extensively hike almost every trek in the Everest region. And apart from the mountains, there’s little amazement in trekking routes. Also, most trails are now commercial. But, while trekking to Pikey Peak, you’ll still be away from excessive commercialisation. Furthermore, Pikey Peak Trek in 2023 can still be off-the-beaten trekking for you.

Pikey Peak Trekking- For surreal mountain glimpses
Pikey Peak Trek, unlike a regular Everest Base Camp Trek, gives you a glimpse of almost every mountain in the Everest region. You won’t regret not trekking to EBC and opting for Pikey Peak Hike.
The three 8,000 meter peaks, Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu, are best seen from this trekking. Moreover, trekking to Pikey also offers a glimpse of the world’s third highest, Kanchenjunga.
The few mountains of Rolwaling Valley are also best seen from this trekking. Gaurisankhar, Numbur Chuli, Thamserku, and Mera Peak are also the best visible mountains.
Inspiring semi-alpine landscapes
The rolling hills and towering boulders on Pikey Peak Trekking in Solukhumbu are equally inspiring as the world’s highest mountains.
As you hike through the lowlands up to 4,065 meters, you’ll walk through the lush forests, terrace farmings, and cascading rivers and streams.
Rhododendron forests, pine, and oak forests offer a serene hike on the off-the-beaten-trekking trails of Pikey Peak. Moreover, Musk Deer, Himalayan Tahr, several bird species, and countless flora and fauna enrich the lovely hills and vegetation.
Unblemished Sherpa Cultures
If you want to explore the Sherpa culture, lower Solukhumbu is the best place to hike. As trekking here started in recent times only, the Sherpa people still need to move on from the effect of the contemporary lifestyle and excessive tourism impact. Due to this, you’d have a fantastic time exploring and understanding the Sherpa culture. Their cultures are enriched, warm, and hospitable.
