Sir Edmund Hillary reportedly rated the view from Pikey Peak his favourite in Nepal, and standing on the 4,065m summit at sunrise it is easy to see why. The panorama runs from Dhaulagiri in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east, taking in Everest, Makalu and Lhotse along the way.
Crucially, this trek requires no Lukla flight. You drive in from Kathmandu, which removes the single biggest source of delay and expense in Everest region trekking.
Trip Highlights
- A panorama spanning Dhaulagiri to Kanchenjunga, including Everest
- No Lukla flight, so no weather-related flight delays
- Traditional Sherpa villages in lower Solukhumbu
- Thubten Choling and Junbesi monasteries
- Rhododendron forest and high pasture with very few other trekkers
- Maximum altitude of 4,065m with a gentle acclimatisation profile
