Overview

Pikey Peak is a stunning mountain peak located in the Solu Khumbu region of Nepal. At an elevation of 4,065 meters (13,368 feet), it is one of the tallest peaks in the area, offering breathtaking panoramic views of some of the world’s highest mountain ranges, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, and Gauri Shankar.

Pikey Peak is also known for its cultural significance, as it is a sacred site for Buddhists and Hindus. The peak is named after a Sherpa deity, and there is a small monastery at the top that is a popular destination for pilgrims. Trekking to Pikey Peak is a relatively new route, but it has become increasingly popular recently.

The trail offers a mix of stunning natural beauty, cultural experiences, and challenging terrain, making it an excellent option for those looking for a more off-the-beaten-path trekking experience in Nepal. The trek typically takes around 7 days and can be customized to suit different fitness levels and preferences.
