Pikey Peak Trek
We choose the Pikey Peak Trek because it is a safe and unexplored trek with the best panoramic view of Mount Everest from the hilly mountain of Khumbu region. Some of the high lights are visiting a small Sherpa’s farmer village, painted Buddhist monasteries and the rhododendron forest. The trek balances both nature and culture exploration. During our trekking and in Kathmandu we can practice Yoga or Qigong to stretch and prepare our bodies for our trekking adventure. We will have the best view of Himalayas from Dhaulagiri in the west to mount Kangchenjunga in the east. The Pikey Peak (4,060m) offers the best sunrise and sunset panoramic view of the Everest, 4 other mountains above 8000m, the beautiful Himalaya mountain range with deep green valleys. We will be staying in Tea houses along the trekking route.
