Tour Overview

Pikey Peak is a low-altitude mountain in Nepal’s Everest/Khumbu Region, Solukhumbu district. This mountain stands at an elevation of 4,065 m. Most trekkers who have completed Everest Base Camp Trek or any Everest Region Trekking agree on one highlight of their trekking, and that would be Pikey Peak offers the best view of Mt.Everest. Due to the extreme popularity of EBC trekking trails, the trails to Pikey Peak remained untouched and undiscovered until now. Pikey Peak Trek was recently opened and is on the verge of getting popular because of its pristine trails and magnificent views. 

Even the legendary mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary sings about the glory of Pikey Peak’s extraordinary views of Mount Everest (Sagarmatha). Pikey Peak Trek can be a trekking option for those who want to explore the Everest Region. And It has a glimpse of the World’s highest Peak but cannot go to Everest Base camp due to health and physical issues or have a short holiday. Pikey Peak Trekking is one of the shortest treks in Nepal that can be completed within 3-4 days. However, if you want to avoid extra physical efforts and health risks, you can extend the trekking days to 8-9 days so you can trek slowly and comfortably.

Additional Info

Best Season for Pikey Peak Trek

Alike many popular treks in Nepal, Pikey Peak Trekking, is best during spring, autumn, and winter. Spring and autumn are the best options for greenery, a bright rhododendron forest, clear views, and a moderate climate. Similarly, the winter would be perfect if you want to enjoy snowfalls and crystal-clear pictures. But, it is recommended to avoid trek during monsoon as the trials would be muddy, landslide risks, and mountain views could be blurry. 

Pikey Peak Trek Cost

The cost of Pikey Peak Trek depends on the packages you take. It is much lower than the famous Everest Base Camp and Annapurna base camp treks. The price varies if you book for a short 3 to 4 days package with flight transport. Similarly, you can save extra money by booking nine days Pikey Peak Trek with a 7 to 8-hour scenic road drive from Kathmandu to Phaplu and vice-versa. The costs include flight or jeep transport fare, accommodation, porters, guide, personal expenses, and TIMS card fees. 

Pikey Peak Trek Difficulty

Unlike several higher-altitude Everest treks, Pikey Peak has a lower elevation of 4,065 m. Therefore, there are fewer risks of altitude sickness. Apart from that, there are facilities of teahouses and lodges at a nearby distance. The trails are moderate compared to the EBC trek, Gokyo Valley trek, Everest High Passes Trek, and many more. An average healthy person can do this trek with ease and comfort.
