Pikey Peak Trekking

Pikey peak trekking in Nepal is one of the most rewarding trekking routes in terms of views of sunrise, sunset and beautiful scenery. Sir Edmund Hillary claimed the view from Pikey Peak to be his favourite from anywhere else in Nepal.

This region was recently opened for tourists as a trekking place. It is located in the lowland of the Everest region, named Solukhumbu, at an altitude of 4,068m. Pikey's actual pronunciation, “Pee Kay”, is named by the Sherpas as it has two summits, one is Goley Pikey and the other Chawa Pikey. Both names of the peak were inspired by the Sherpa clan deity.

Pikey Peak Trek is popular to see the dazzling views of sunrise, sunset and breathtaking views of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Gauri Shanker, Lhotse Shar, Khatang, Karyalung, Annapurna, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Shisapangma, Thamserku and Mera Peak. Due to the lowland and good altitude, the Pikey Peak Trek can be done by anyone in a short period. In the interim, we can see the old monasteries, mani walls, stone and Buddhist Stupa at Kerung.

The Thupten Chholing Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the Solukhumbu District of Sagarmatha. Through this Pikey Peak Trek during the festival season in August, Sherpa people walk to the lake for the festival from the villages all around the Solukhumbu and in July, there is always a celebration as the locals worship their clan gods.

Pikey Peak is considered the best point to witness Everest. The sunrise and sunset view over the peaks is so magical to behold. You would love the culture, lifestyle and the biodiversity of this region. The autumn and the spring are the best seasons to go for the Pikey Peak Trek when the weather is clear and wonderful.
