## About

Pikey peak trek is the closest alternate to crowded Everest trek. This is newly introduced and less discovered trekking in Everest region which offers best of Sherpa Lifestyle, Festival, culture and the Himalayan scenery. While the trek offers magnificent view of most sought after peaks of Everest, Kanchanjunga and Makalu, the trail passes through authentic Sherpa Land(Beautiful Village) and monasteries following the beaten trail.
People says that the view of Mount Everest from Pikey Peak is one of the best in Nepal. That’s a bold statement, but Sir Edmund Hillary himself claimed it to be his favorite, and we're inclined to agree.

One thing is sure that the 4,067 m peak in the lower Everest region is definitely the best view point to look into Mt Everest and other peaks east of Kathmandu. Moreover the region is easy to access and provide flexible itinerary with option of driving or flying to the trekking trail head.
The trek starts with scenic drive or flight, east of Kathmandu. The rolling hills with cascading waterfalls, terraces and pristine village in the foreground of snow peaks make the journey awe-inspiring. Once we start walking, authentic Buddhist villages marked by prayers flag and Mane walls greets us. Rustic monasteries and authentic Sherpa villages along the trail, are long gone in popular Everest trail. Walk through the Rhododendron forest and come to the high pastures with far reaching view.
As with most treks in Nepal, Pikey Peak is incredible during the spring, fall, and also the winter months given its lower elevation. It's best, however, to avoid this trek during the monsoon as it can get very wet in this region.
