This trek provides travelers with breathtaking views of the mighty Everest and its neighboring peaks.
Starting at an elevation of 2000 meters and ascending to the ultimate point at 4060 meters, the Pikey Peak Trail is renowned for its stunning nature and rich cultural experiences. From the peak’s viewpoint, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of numerous high mountains, including Mt. Everest and its South Summit, Mt. Lhotse, and Mt. Makalu.
