Trip Description - Pikey Peak Trek

The “Pikey Peak Trek” is another famous new trekking trail in the Everest region that probably offers Mount Everest’s amazing views at one of the lowest elevations. It is an opportunity to see Mount Everest (8848.86 m) during a short visit. It is popular among trekkers in a short time due to its trekking excellent mountain views including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Manaslu Himal, Gauri Shankar Himal, Numbur and many others including mount Thamserku and rhododendron flowers, magnolia and wild orchids. In August, during the festivities at times, many devotees follow this trail to go to Dudh Kunda and most of the priests walk in the lake with this festival performing pure rituals in their sacred lake to Dudh Kunda. This festival is celebrated from the villages around Solukhumbu and other districts. This walk also offers breathtaking sunrise and sunset views if the weather is good.

Many say that the view of Mount Everest from Pikey Peak is one of the best in Nepal. We believe this is a bold statement as everyone feels after Pikey Peak Trek. Also, Sir Edmund Hillary is claiming it as his favorite, and we totally agree. If you are looking for a short trek in the Everest region near Kathmandu, this is the perfect route. However, a 6-7 day trekking during leisure time offers the opportunity to exercise without stress and visit many monasteries, gompas and stupas. This trek offers wonderful views of both the Numbur range and Mount Everest. There are various trekking trails and local footpaths to reach Pikey Peak in the Lower Everest region.

Due to limited space at Kathmandu Airport, all airlines have requested to report at the check-in counter three hours before the actual flight departure time. Therefore, we will pick you up from the hotel three and a half hours in advance, as the estimated travel time to the airport is around half an hour.

We hope that your visit to Nepal and the activities you do during your visit will remind you to visit Nepal again in the future. As per the service policy of Jagadamba Holidays, your journey will conclude with a farewell at the airport. Have a safe and pleasant journey ahead. Thank you, see you again!

Accommodation offered during the trip

The accommodation we use may vary depending on our package travel and the range of travel destinations. Before or after the trip you can book comfortable hotels in cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara for your stay. If you book a tea house trekking trip, we will provide a small two-bed room for sharing in the hill lodges which is a basic facility but very clean.

Now, better-equipped lodges are also available in Annapurna and Everest areas but we recommend trekkers to use accommodation above 3,500 meters where clean rooms and clean food are readily available. Sometimes a level of flexibility may be required when trekking in remote mountain areas. We believe that you will complete your vacation without any problems and have the trip of a lifetime. If you book camping/trekking, our camping team will manage a comfortable camping site by the river where possible.

There will usually be a dedicated support team on the trip to move luggage and equipment, set up camp, and prepare your food. You will find more detailed information about travel accommodation which is mentioned separately in the lodging section of each vacation package page.

However, you can expect excellent service and high quality in any budget range you choose. You can learn more about different types of travel and their features and the proposed travel price by contacting us directly where we will be very pleased to answer your questions. We always try to choose comfortable accommodation with local character reflecting the best value based on twin share accommodation.

When you book a trip, unless you request a private single room, we will arrange for you to share a twin bed room with a person of the same gender. If you request a private single room, you will need to pay a single room supplementary fee. Please note that during the trek, if the destination is 4000 meters above sea level, only dormitory accommodation with private beds will be available. On trekking trips we try our best but do not promise guaranteed room options. For most of our camping trips, we supply branded two-person tents, including groundsheets.

Mess tent, kitchen tent, toilet tent, service plates, bowls, and all necessities are provided. Members of the mountaineering travel group are requested to manage according to the options given on the website.
