A short trek with best view of mount Everest

Pikey Peak (4,068m) viewpoint, located in the lower Rolwaling region, offers one of the best views of the Mt. Everest (8848m). The vantage point itself was claimed to be one of the grandest by the first summiteer of the Mt. Everest (8848m), Sir Edmund Hilary. The Pikey Peak Trek is a journey across the Rolwaling region that explores the authentic Sherpa settlements through the virgin hilly trail. The trek is one of the lesser-traveled ones and also entails plenty of off-beat trails en route to the Pikey Peak (4068m).

The Himalayas will welcome you as you arrive Nepal with glitters of snowcaps showing what lies ahead on the trek. Once you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and meet with your guide, we will begin the Pikey Peak Trek alongside the banks of Sunkoshi River heading towards Dhap. From there, we begin our trek and make the first stop at Jhapre village for our first night. It is a village perched above a hill with view of Everest (8,848m) and Numbur (6,958m) in the distant. From there, we continue our journey through the lush green forests and we gradually ascend towards Pikey Base Camp. After a night in the base camp, we make our way to Pikey Peak (4,068m) summit for the much awaited views of the Himalayan sunrise the next morning. Here you get mesmerizing view of Mt. Gaurishankar (7,134m), Mt. Karyolung (6,511m), Mt Numbur (6,958m), Mt Kangtega (6,782m), Melungtse (7,181m) which alongside Mt. Everest (8,848m) and Mt Kanchenjunga (8,586). After enjoying the stunning Himalayan panorama drenched in the rays of the early morning sun, we head to Chaulakharka and then Shivalaya. Our trek has come to an end and next, we once again drive along the Koshi River and return to Kathmandu.

Pikey peak trek - Off the beaten Path trek in Nepal

Frances Cudiamat

Nepal Ascent Treks made my entire experience in Nepal a very unique and special one! Sittal was very helpful in every detail when I was planning for the city tour and trek. Shirish, my city guide, gave me a very detailed overview of all the places we visited in Kathmandu. And finally, Gangga my guide and Sanjit my porter, who were with me for six days during my trek, turned out to be my friends for life. There was never a dull moment with them; it was always fun! They were very accommodating and helped me all throughout the trek to make sure I was comfortable and happy. Definitely coming back to Nepal for another trek with them! Cheers and God bless to this entire team!
