Route highlights
Pikey Peak Trek is a must-visit destination for adventure enthusiasts seeking to explore the beautiful and less-crowded Everest region of Nepal. It offers stunning views of Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world, and the surrounding Himalayan range. This trek is named after the first submitter of Everest, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, and Sir Edmund Hillary, who trekked this route in the past.
Our nine-day trek will take you through a scenic cross-section of Nepal. You will stay in tea house lodges run by friendly local villagers. The trail passes through Tamang and Sherpa villages, allowing you to immerse yourself in their unique culture and traditions. You will witness the terraced fields, oak, birch, rhododendron, and bamboo forests, and eventually, reach Pikey Base Camp, which is above the tree line and in the alpine zone.
The summit of Pikey Peak stands at 4,065 meters, providing a panoramic view of the surrounding Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest, Mount Number, and Mount Lhotse. The late Sir Edmund Hillary himself famously called Pikey Peak "the most amazing site to stare upon Mt. Everest." It is a breathtaking experience that you will cherish forever.
