Trip of the month

Pikey Peak Trek; a recently promoted incredibly great trip in lower Everest Region can be your best choice if you are trying to find a less travelled but area that still offers some of best Nepal trekking experience in Khumbu that is close to Kathmandu, this is a splendid (less discovered) route.

This short Pikey trek provides an opportunity to go to several Buddhist monuments sites such as gompas, and stupas. Whichever the route you choose to Pikey Peak Trek; it gives wonderful views of the Number Himal, Mt. Everest and other mountain peaks. From the Pikey peak, one can see the various spectacular mountain view over 8,000 meters including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Lhotse, Manaslu, Annapurna and many other snow-covered peaks. The Pikey Peak is popular for its breathtaking sunrise and sunset views and one can take pleasure in the magnificent sight of the peaks beyond the Kathmandu valley to the plains along with lots of Himalayan range.

With a motive to address the willingness of our fellow Nepalese to view the magnificent views of 8000 meters, we have developed a short 3N/4D itinerary.  The trip begins and ends at Kathmandu. Our accommodation comprises of homestay at Chyangba, a sherpa village where you would be able to enjoy the local food and experience authentic sherpa culture.
