About Pikey Peak
Pikey Peak Trek is the newly discovered incredible trekking trail in the Everest region. It is still less traveled by tourists. From Pikey Peak, you will have incredible views of Mt. Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, Gaurishankar, Lhotse, Nuptse, Numbur, Sishapangma, Thamserku, and Mera Peak.
Edmund Hillary, the first summiteer of Mount Everest, said that the best views of Everest can have from Pikey Peak (4067m) which is located in Solu Khumbu, the lower territory of the Everest Region. It is not that much tiresome as Everest Base Camp Trek. You can experience a glimpse of the Everest region within a week.
