The Pikey Peak trek is an awesome journey in the Gauri Shankar and Everest region that avoids the Khumbu zone. This is so much more pleasant and delighting trip that goes through the Sherpa dominated communities. If you love to explore the dramatic vistas of the Khumbu region from the lower altitude, this is the best trekking for you. This trek is accessible by jeep, so the hassle of the Lukpa flight does not make any sense.

Beginning the Pikey Trek from Jiri, the picturesque town of Nepal, it passes through the Sherpa villages along with the journey through the meadows and forest. The delighting scenery of Mt. Gaurishanker, Numbur and Kangtega can be explored during the trek. During the trek, the Tibetan Buddhist scenery allure the trekkers that include the colorful monastery and chhortens. For a short time lower altitude lovers, Pikey Peak Trek is an excellent trip that can enjoy the Everest brilliant sceneries without the seasonal barriers. The route is dominated by the pine and juniper forest. The Himalayan views include Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Nuptse, Lhotse, Gaurishanker and the surroundings. Heading through the pasture land, trekkers can sense the nomadic lifestyles of the sheepherders.

Reliance Trekking operates Pikey Peak Trekking with a professional guide, cost and itinerary. We recommend March to May and September to November as the best seasons for this trekking. Please, feel free to contact us for more details about the trek.
