Pikey Peak Trek is a newly opened teahouse trekking route in the lower section of the Everest region. It is a remote area where you meet a few trekkers en-route. It is also the culturally rich trekking area where you can see ancient monasteries, Mani walls, Stupas, temples and Hindu pilgrimage places on the trek. It offers majestic views of Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Ama Dablam, Mera Peak, Gauri Shankar, and Numbur Himal to the North and deep valleys dropping away into the clouds to the South from Pikey Peak. You can enjoy the breath-taking sunrise and Sunset views from Pikey Peak at elevation 4067m.
Sir Edmund Hillary said it is his favorite view of Mt. Everest (8848m) from Pikey Peak at elevation 4067m. We agree to him. The Sherpas believe that their clan god is living at Pikey Peak where the locals get to gather to worship and praying during the month of July. Dudh Kunda is a scared Lake in the Base Camp of the mountain Numbur Himal. The Shaman dance festival celebrates at the Lake in the full moon August each year.
There can find 5 different types of Rhododendrons that bloom in the forest in April/May. This trek is also rich in Himalayan flora and fauna etc. You could see yaks grazing around Peak Peak.
