Pikey Peak Trek in Lower Khumbhu Region/Solu, 9 Days

Days: 9 / Difficulty: 2 of 5 (Moderate)
Min Group Size: 1 / Max Group Size: 12

Pikey Peak Trek is a newly opened trekking route in Solukhumbu region which invites us to explore the Everest and lower Khumbu region along the dramatically changing landscapes. It offers beautiful sunset and sunrise views over the towering peaks of this region along with the unique experience of Sherpa culture and lifestyle. We will get an opportunity to view the most esteemed Himalayan range in the World which includes mountains like Everest (8848m), Kanchenjunga (8586m), Makalu (8463m), Lhotse (8414m) and many other snow-covered peaks. Being a freshly introduced trekking route, it provides the trekkers with the off-beaten trail trekking experience. 

Our journey to Pikey Peak starts with a scenic drive to Dhap Bazar from Kathmandu and our trek starts. Though this trail is recently opened, it is one of the most preferred choices for the trekkers because the trail passes from the Lower Khumbu region. The region is known to provide mesmerizing views of Mt. Everest (8848m) and its neighboring peaks although situated at a lower elevation range. Considered as one of the best short treks in contention, the illustrious journey leads to the Pikey Base Camp with the thick spread of rich Buddhist culture along the way. The lush valleys, old monasteries, huge Mani walls, beautiful vegetation and rhododendron forests along with the beautiful sunset and sunrise views are the major attractions of this trekking route. Pikey peak is famous for its tranquil landscapes, unique Sherpa culture, and beautiful mountain views. The trail follows the less crowded areas of Khumbu region, rhododendron forests and small villages. The tranquil landscapes along with the views of Himalayan panorama offer a mystical vibe which attracts a great many numbers of tourists. 

Swiss Family Treks and Expedition has earned an honorable reputation for being one of the best in the business.

  • FROM LUKLA TO MARATIKA CAVE VIA PIKE PEAK 4065M BASIC LODGE TREK AND VOLUNTARY WORK, 30 DAYS 29 SEP TO 28TH OCT 2015

Dear SFT Family
A little story in Nepal.
We went the third day after a warm welcome in Pharping, to the domestic airport. Lucky we , the weather was very good and the flight to Lukla amazing. We had a good landing with a beautiful view. Our guide was waiting for us and after a soup we started walking with the impressed mountains around us. Sonam, our guide was really attentive and professional. He guided tempo in a way that we enjoy walking and our acclimatisation was natural. The earthquake damage was visible in the beautiful villages with very attentive sherpa families. Living in a surrounding of mountains nature gives  live a strenght thats related to that nature. Pure, sometimes rough but always amazing impressive beautiful. We loved the white peaks and hard work to reach next villages and monastries where we were really welcome. Sonam could tell a lot about the knowledge and Halesi was like an extra gift in the trekking. Together with our guide and porter after traveling 20 days we felt like family, an amazing experience and wisdom. It was every day a surprise but the attention for the food, also cooking by Sonam, makes us very healthy. Ready to go back to Pharping with warm memories of lovely sherpa nepali people and beautiful mountains and nature and healthy dalbhat.
Greetings Jolanda and Will, and a big hug for Tony.
