Pikey Peak is one of the famous viewing points to see the panoramic views of Mount Everest, Kanchanjangha, Makalu and Lhotse. It is an ideal option for the short-time trekkers. The beautiful landscapes and comfortable trekking route make Pikey Peak trekking very unique. From this vantage point, one can see the best sunrise and sunset panoramic views within the deep green valleys. At present, Pikey Peak is one of the most popular short-tour destinations in Nepal among tourists within 6 days of easy trekking. Pikey Peak is a seasonal snowy hill where local Sherpa people go for short hiking trips and to hang the prayer flag on the top. The Pikey, named after the name of the local Sherpa deity, represents the sky over nature. During the monsoon period, in June or July, local Sherpa people worship their clan god and perform the ceremony of the Buddhist Lama and a group of monks. You get to learn a lot about Sherpa culture and tradition. The trail also takes you across other communities like Tamang, Rai, Chhetri, etc. Likewise, stupas, prayer wheels, and prayer flags are on the way. The overall journey is awe-inspiring and offers a lifetime experience.
