About this trip
A short trek in the lower Khumbu region of Nepal, reaching Pikey Peak at 4065m for views over Everest and a run of other Himalayan giants.
The trail sees far fewer trekkers than the main Everest routes, taking you through Sherpa villages, rhododendron forests and valleys strung with prayer flags and stupas rather than crowded teahouse trails.
Permits, food and accommodation are handled for you, run by an operator with decades of experience in the region.
What you'll do
- Reach the summit of Pikey Peak at 4065m
- Walk through rhododendron forests, best in spring bloom
- Pass through Sherpa villages in the Solu Khumbu region
- See stupas and Tibetan prayer flags along the trail
- Views of Everest, Kanchenjunga and Dhaulagiri from the peak
- Rated moderate rather than easy, though it's one of the shorter Everest-area treks at 5 days
- Runs on a quieter route than the main Everest trails, suiting those wanting fewer crowds
- Available as a private trip, so it can work for families or small groups wanting their own schedule
