Why you Love this trip: Review of Pikey Peak Trail
If you are looking for a short trek or beginners trek near the Everest region, Pikey Peak is absolutely best for you. This trek is not only for mountain views but also for the cultural exploration of the Sherpas people in Solukhumbu, Nepal. Trekking to Pikey Peak will be an alternate trek of the most demanded Everest Base Camp Trek.
The Pikey Peak is most popular for its sunrise and sunset views over the Mahalangur Himalayan ranges from where we can enjoy the 7 tallest Peak in the world among 14. They are Everest, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Manaslu, Annapurna, and Shishapangma. You can even experience below 8 thousand peaks such as Gaurishankar, Mera, and Thamserku. Accommodations on this route are basic tea houses.
The trail passes through beautiful settlements where you can visit the ancient Buddhist Monastery of Thupten Chholing. You can even enjoy the unique Sherpa culture. In August, cleansing rituals at the sacred lakes are performed with several important Shamans and during the month of July, the locals hold different celebrations to worship their clan god.
Even though it is rich in natural beauty, it’s less traveled than the other Everest Areas Trekking. This trek is suitable for everyone including newbie trekkers(no needed hiking/trekking experience).

PERFECT ! Pikey Peak Trek
Rated 5 out of 5
My friend Colek and I booked Pikey peak trek with Base Camp Hike Pvt Ltd and we don’t regret anything, because everything was just PERFECT. We also customized a little bit the trip with our guide Bishnu and everything went very well. We had an awesome view from the beginning to the end of the trip.
Our porter Padma is strong and lovely. So if you want to go trek to Nepal, I highly recommend using Base Camp Hike Company, because there are professionals who know how to organize everything.
Next time we’ll come for a trek to Mardi Himal.

Rated 5 out of 5
We did Pikey trek in 2020’s February. It was an amazing experience. We were 3 in our group and found this trail is best for the Everest view within a short time( 7 days). Moreover, we chose it due to the less touristic trail.
The trek was organized by Base Camp Hike. We got the best guide, a strong porter from this company. They provide service beyond our expectations.
Anyone looking for a less popular trek in Nepal, we recommended Trekking to Pikey Peak and Base Camp Hike Company.
