Pikey Peak Trek is a newly discovered trekking route in the Everest region. Many trekkers claim that the view of Mt. Everest from Pikey Peak is one of the best in Nepal. Even Edmund Hillary calls Pikey Peak his favourite and we are dragged to agree. In the Everest region, there is a fantastic new hiking route called the Pikey Peak Trek. Tourist traffic is still rather low. From Pikey Peak, you can see Mt. Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, Gaurishankar, Lhotse, Nuptse, Numbur, Sishapangma, Thamserku, and Mera Peak, among many other magnificent mountains.
Pikey Peak (4067m), which is situated in the Solu Khumbu, the lower region of the Everest Region, is claimed to offer the greatest views of Mount Everest, according to Edmund Hillary, the first person to summit the mountain. Compared to the trek to Everest Base Camp, it is not as exhausting. Within a week, you could see a small portion of the Everest region. This walk is a great way to get a taste of other Nepalese ethnic groups' ways of life, such as Tamang, Chhetri, Gurung, and Rai.
If you are seeking a short and easy trek in the Everest region, the Pikey Peak trail would be a great route. Though it is possible to complete the trek within 3 – 4 days, we suggest you hike for a leisurely 6-days so that you won’t stress out physically and explore the sites at your own pace.
Pikey Peak trail goes through picturesque settlements and you can explore the quaint Thupten Chholing monastery while enjoying the tantalizing Himalayan sceneries. During the festival in August, you can observe the cleansing rituals at the sacred lakes.
Pikey Peak is known for the best sunrise and sunset views over mighty 8,000m+ peaks – Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Everest, Lhotse, Manaslu, Annapurna, and Shishapangama. Also, you can witness the other lofty peaks like Gauri Shanker, Lhotse Shar, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Mera, and Thamserku.
Additionally, you may experience a range of regional foods and see some endangered species of plants and animals. It is also regarded as one of the most significant locations for biological and natural diversity.
In Nepal, Pikey Peak is one of the most well-liked short-trekking locations among both tourists and local hikers. You can see the best view of the Himalayas, from Dhaulagiri in the west to Mt. Kanchenjunga in the east, including Everest, with just 7 days of easy climbing. Pikey Peak Trek is easily accessible by means of transportation. This pikey peak trip is growing in popularity despite being less commercial and offering extremely basic lodging in the community. Moreover, you will also explore the UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu, including Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, Baudhanath, and other sites too.
While Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes are already popular, Pikey Peak is still less explored in the Khumbu region. If you are someone who wants to avoid the mainstream trail but still wants a similar experience then trekking to Pikey Peak would be a great option.
The Pikey Peak trek lies in the Rolwaling Everest region; away from the famed Everest Base Camp Trekking route. Very few trekkers have made their way to explore this spectacular and enchanting cultural trail.
The teahouses along the entire trekking route are basically offering you twin-shared accommodation and a limited food menu.
Exploring the UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu, we start our 6 days Pikey Peak teahouse trek with an exciting flight to Phaplu. For trekking Phaplu to pikey peak trek route, the Pikey peak map meanders through terraced hillsides, Sherpa villages, and high forest to the windswept open ridges of pikey peak height (4,065m). This stunning ridge offers a dramatic view in a pikey peak location of 8,000m+ and countless 6,000m+ & 7,000m+ Peaks. The unobstructed views of Mt. Everest, Mera Peak, Thamserku, and Mt. Makalu are so impressive that it is really hard to forget.
Furthermore, we continue towards the Sacred lake of Dudhkunda (4,560m) majestically nestled at the base of Mt. Numbur and Karyolung. The water system of the lake is the result of glacial melts and tumbling icefalls hanging unstably above these sacred mountains. We drop down to Phaphu via Trakshindo monastery to catch an adventurous trans-Himalayan flight back to Kathmandu.
pikey peak trek cost is highly monitored for the traveller's intent and best experience in this newly discovered trail.
Firstly, you should know that the Pikey Peak Trek requires no climbing expertise and there are certainly no technical sections.
With some determination and basic physical fitness, you will be able to cope with the ups and downs on the route. Train yourself a few weeks before the commencement of the trip which helps you to enhance your strength and endurance capacity.
The only thing that you need to consider is altitude issues. Walk at a slow pace and acclimatize your body well before gaining altitude.
The months of September to November and March to May are the best time to visit Pikey Peak. During these months, the temperature tends to remain stable and views are usually unobstructed. In spring (March-May), the entire trail is groomed with blooming wild-flower, changing it into an earthy paradise.
Pikey peak Nepal is also possible to trek in winter. But check the availability of the teahouse in high altitudes. Monsoon brings heavy downpours to the Khumbu region; inviting the threat of landslides and floods. Often time views are obscured behind the dark black cloud. However, monsoon trekking would be great for the keen botanist as the entire vegetation is in a state of bloom.

The Pikey peak trek is not so difficult compared to other treks like the Everest Base Camp trek, the Manaslu circuit trek, the Annapurna base camp trek, and many more. The Pikey Peak trek is a moderate-level trek which can be done by all age groups. However, there are some difficulties that every trekker has to face during the trek. We are discussing some of the difficulties and their prevention that you may face during your trek.
Distance
The Pikey Peak trip covers a distance of between 50 and 60 kilometres. Therefore, we need to walk roughly 10 kilometres each day. Take your time but do not put much pressure on your body to reach your destination; otherwise, it creates stress and anxiety and also several issues and problems in your body. So choose the package according to your ability. If you are a slow walker and used to a long walk, then choose a long package to give your body some rest. Moreover, if you are a beginner, prepare yourself for this trek by doing some physical exercise.
Altitude sickness
Altitude sickness is the biggest hazard that hikers confront on high-altitude excursions. It happens when hikers travel above 8,000 feet because of the low air pressure and lack of oxygen at high altitudes (2,440 meters). The usual symptoms of this illness, which might include breathing difficulties, headaches, nausea, and sleep issues, are caused by a shortage of oxygen in the blood. It is a typical ailment on any mountain journey. You should immediately move to the usual altitude zone if you are experiencing any of the aforementioned issues. Ignore this kind of symptom because doing so could be quite dangerous. If you encounter any symptoms of altitude sickness, you should take medications like Diamox, Acetazolamide, Promethazine, and Paracetamol, which help to prevent those symptoms.
Weather and temperature
The weather will play a significant role in your expedition. Unpredictable weather has the potential to ruin your expedition. Therefore, always check the weather prediction before hiking or go prepared with everything you'll need for inclement weather. Hiking is difficult because the ground is hazardously muddy after rain. It may be slippery, making it challenging to navigate the snow-covered ground. March, April, May, September, October, and November are typically regarded as the best months to hike up Pikey Peak.
Budget management
Pikey peak trekking is cheaper than other treks like the Everest base camp trek, Upper Mustang trek, Manaslu circuit trek, and many others. Your extra expenses that are not included in your package will determine the price of your trek. Your plan, route, number of days, food, extra hiking gear, mementoes, and many other factors will all affect the cost of your trip. The cost of things will be charged three times more than the actual price as you ascend in height. Therefore, be sure to prepare your budget in accordance with your needs, including food, water, lodging, and other necessities for your walk.
The Pikey Peak trek cost is very affordable and cheaper compared to other famous treks like the Everest Base Camp trek. Nepal Horizon Trek offers the very best affordable price package for you at USD 900 per person. It covers a lot of trip-related expenses, such as a guide, porter, meals and lodging during the hike, transportation, permits, and many other things. Moreover, you can adjust the cost of your trip according to the itinerary, days, and route. Additionally, the size of your group also matters. If you have a large number of members in your group, then the cost of the package will be reduced.
Even if it's just for a single trip, it's not enough to show up at Pikey Peak with your supplies and guidebook. Although Pikey Peak is 4065 meters high, with proper acclimatization, it does not pose the same risks of altitude sickness as Everest. In order to reach the height and distance, you must be both physically and mentally prepared. A few weeks prior, jogging, running, swimming, and leg workouts would all be ideal physical preparation for the hike. It would be beneficial to read the Pikey Peak guide and have a map for the Pikey Peak Trek.
