Discover Everest like never before—away from the crowds, close to the culture. The 8-Day Pikey Peak Trek is a hidden treasure in the lower Everest region, offering sweeping Himalayan views, charming Sherpa villages, and a deeply spiritual journey through Buddhist monasteries and rhododendron forests. At 4,065 meters, Pikey Peak rewards trekkers with one of the best sunrise panoramas of Everest, as praised by Sir Edmund Hillary himself.
Perfect for trekkers seeking a short, off-the-beaten-path experience with fewer tourists and authentic local culture, this trek blends natural beauty, cultural encounters, and spiritual serenity.
