About Pikey Peak Trek
Pikey Peak trek is a recently opened hiking destination in the lower Everest region. Pikey Peak is one of the tallest hills in the Solukhumbu region.
During the month of July, the locals organize different celebrations to worship their clan god. This peak offers a magnificent view of the Everest Himalayan range.
The route passes through beautiful communities and you can visit the ancient Thupten Chholing Buddhist Monastery and enjoy the unique Sherpa culture. And during the festive seasons in July and August, several Shamans perform purifying rituals in the sacred lakes.
The Pikey Danda (in Nepali hill) is best known for its sunrise and sunset views, and seven 8000-meters peaks can be enjoyed: Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Manaslu, Annapurna and Shishapangma in Tibet and many other peaks such as Gauri-Shanker, Lhotseshar, Nuptse, Ama-Dablem, Mera and Thamserku.
It is a best trek for those who want to hike this off the beaten track and see something totally different from many of the country’s more touristy regions.
