About Pikey Peak Trekking - 6 days

Looking for a quick and easy way to experience the majestic Mount Everest and the breathtaking Himalayan range? Look no further than the Pikey Peak Trekking trail, which offers the shortest route to the top of Everest while immersing you in the culture and lifestyle of the local Sherpa ethnic group. 

For those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas but don't have the time or budget for the more popular and strenuous Everest Base Camp Trek, the Pikey Peak Trekking trail is the perfect solution.

The Pikey Peak Trekking trail is located in the Lower Solukhumbu region of Nepal and is a relatively new route that offers a unique and less crowded alternative to the popular Everest Base Camp trek. 

One of the highlights of this trek is the opportunity to experience the culture and way of life of the Sherpa people. The Sherpa are renowned for their mountaineering skills and have a rich history and culture that is closely intertwined with the Himalayan region. During the trek, you will get to interact with local Sherpa communities, visit monasteries and traditional villages, and taste authentic Sherpa cuisine.

With delicious local cuisine and traditional hospitality, you'll feel right at home as you explore the peaceful and stunning landscapes of Nepal. And the best part? This trek is easy on your body, with a lower risk of altitude sickness than other more strenuous routes.

Another advantage of the Pikey Peak Trekking trail is that it is relatively easy and does not require technical mountaineering skills. This makes it accessible to a wider range of trekkers, including beginners and families. However, it is still important to be physically prepared for the altitude and to take appropriate precautions to avoid altitude sickness.

But don't let the ease fool you - the views from the peak are simply jaw-dropping. On a clear day, you'll be able to take in panoramic vistas of the Gaurishankhar and Kanchenjunga mountain ranges, leaving you feeling invigorated and inspired.

In addition to the stunning views of Mount Everest and the Himalayan range, the Pikey Peak Trekking trail also offers breathtaking views of the Numbur Himal, Gauri Shankar, and other prominent peaks. The trek is also known for its diverse flora and fauna, including rhododendron forests, wildlife such as musk deer and Himalayan Thar, and a variety of bird species.

Make your dreams a reality with Himalayan Ecological Trekking, and discover the beauty and wonder of the Himalayas like never before. The Pikey Peak Trekking trail offers a unique and rewarding trekking experience that combines stunning natural beauty, rich culture and history, and a sense of adventure and exploration.

      Pikey Peak with Bikesh Rana

      Me and my friend were doing the Pikey Peak Trekking with Bikesh. We drove with the Jeep from KTM to Dhap from there we started our Trek. On this day we walked first to Japhre and stayed there for one night. The next day we walked to Pikey Peak Base camp and stayed there another night. The next morning we started ascending Pikey Peak at 5.30 am and reached the Top about 1 hour later, perfect timing for the sunrise. I've already done a few trekkings in Nepal but never had such an amazing few over the whole Himalayan range. Since we did this Trekking at the end of January there was still a lot of snow and it was super cold. But still, it was worth doing it, even with the cold and the wind. On this Day we walked further to Junbesi where we had the next day resting day since the Day of the Pikey Peak was very exhausting. We visited the Monastery there and finished our Trekkthe next day in Saleri. We did the Trekking with Bikesh and he was an amazing guide. He never did this Trekking before but he told us this in advance. I always felt very safe with him and he did everything we wished for. He is very experienced and had very good knowledge about everything. We had a lot of fun with him and I'm recommending him to everyone. I've already done a Trekking with Himalayan Ecological Trekking before and the organization was very good and they were very professional.
