Overview of Pikey Peak Trek
When you decide to walk the mountain trail and summit any peak, the most important thing for you is the view. Understanding this, Himalayan Hope Treks present its Pikey Peak Trek expedition that provides the opportunity to capture an extraordinary Himalayan panorama with your camera.
We promise the route that we have proposed for our Pikey Peak trek is the quintessence of the beauty of the lower Solukhumbu of eastern Nepal.
The trail of our Pikey Peak trek 8 days adventure will lead you through the dense forest, clearings, and then rocky parts of the Gaurishankar Conservation Area finally culminating at the 4065 m altitude of the Pikey Peak: the most beloved Himalayan viewpoint of Sir Edmund Hilary.
The Pikey Summit grants you the rare opportunity to see both Everest and Annapurna at the same time without the need to engage in two different mountain treks in Nepal.
However, your views will extend beyond these two giants as you will also see five other 8000 m snow monsters that include Dhaulagiri, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Manaslu.
Additionally, you will also find Khatang, Numbur, Chamlang, Thamserku, Rolwaling, Mera, Gaurishankar, Langtang, Dorje Lhakpa, and Kangtega glistening behind these Himalayan mammoths.

Along the way, you will find comfortable tea houses, and the trail is facilitated with bridges, platforms, and well-maintained jungle paths.
Thus, in our opinion, the Pikey Peak trek is a must-do adventure during your time in Nepal. Easy access, brilliant trekking stage, nontechnical route, and comfort on the way make the Pikey Peak trek one of the most picturesque, not only to walk but also for a quick trip to the sunrise in a sea of clouds.
