Description

Pikey Peak is a peak in the Solukhumbu area that is risen to 4,065 meters. No, it doesn't get snow all year round, but from December to February it does get a lot of it. It is undoubtedly among the greatest excursions for novices and those looking to see new territory. This is its attraction: unlike Everest Base Camp, it is not a popular hiking route. It does not, however, lack any elements required for tourism. The genuine Sherpa culture, the well-kept paths with sufficient lodging, the old monasteries, and the wealth of natural beauty. The path passes past a number of villages, and you can see the far-off Sherpa communities. The majority of the population in this region is engaged in climbing and has ties to the travel and tourist sector, which is another distinctive feature. The starting point of the walk is at Dhap, which is 2,850 meters above sea level. In addition to hiking, one may enjoy the breathtaking views of the eastern ranges of Nepal and the Himalayas, which include Mt. Everest (8,848 mt), Mt. Kanchenjunga (8,586 mt), Mt. Makalu (8,463 mt), Mt. Gauri Shankhar (7,134 mt), and Mt. Thamserku (6,623 mt).
