Pikey Peak, located in the Khumbu region, is a short trek filled with abundance of natural beauty. Sir Edmund Hillary, one of two first climbers to Mt. Everest, even called it the best viewpoint to enjoy the King of the mountains.

The peak got its name from local Sherpa community, living in the area, which means «sky over nature». And we can definitely agree that they named it accurately indeed.

Pikey Peak trek will take you along the beautiful scenery and introduce you with the traditions of Sherpa culture within a short period of time. As the trek is situated a bit far from the high peaks, Pikey Peak trek covers much more of Himalayas than other treks.

Pikey Peak (4,065 meters) is the main aim of the trek. You will never forget the amazing beauty of sunrises and sunsets that you will be able to observe from here. It will be the unforgettable moment of your life.

Nowadays Pikey Peak trek is highly popular not only among the foreign trekkers but among the locals as well. And the popularity of this short trek is increasing day by day. The range of panoramas seen from the top of Pikey Peak is simply eclectic. From Mt. Kanchenjunga in far East and Mt. Everest to Mt. Dhaulagiri in West – you will see them all.

Although the gorgeous mountains are the main aim of this journey, the trek still can offer you something more. Local Sherpa culture also deserves your attention. Ancient Buddhist monasteries and warm hospitality of the locals will introduce you a bit with traditions and style of life.

Another advantage of Pikey Peak trek is that both experienced trekkers and beginners, who do not have much experience but are full of determination and dedication, can go through it.
Take a few of your trekking partners and start your journey.
