Pikey Peak Trekking with Everest View
7 DaysPikey Peak Trekking with Everest View
Pikey Peak Trek is a newly opened trekking route in the Everest region. From Pikey Peak, we can see the excellent views of Mt. Everest, Makalu Kanchenjunga and many more mountains. The exciting thing is that in less than a week, we can have beautiful views of Mount Everest from about 4000m in height. The Khumbu region is famous for Sherpa culture. Besides Sherpa, this trek has an opportunity to experience the lifestyle of other ethnic groups of Nepal like Tamang, Chhetri, Gurung, and Rai as the trekking route goes less than 4100m. from the sea level, so there is likely no risk of high altitude sickness.
