Close to Everest
The Pikey Peak lies within the famous Everest base camp trek route itself. Everest base camp trek is the most popular trekking route in Nepal, with many trekking choices, such as the Gokyo Valley trek. This peak trekking route also lies close to the famous Everest. Only 30 km away from Mount Everest, the settlement of Pikey Peak also has the cultural insight and geography of Mount Everest itself. So you can explore the beauty of villages in Everest in very less time and budget while being on the Pikey Peak trek.
Extensive view
Among the viewpoints of Nepal, Pikey Peak might be the viewpoint that has the most extensive view. And unlike another viewpoint, at this spot, you can see mountains pretty close and exciting. On this trip, you can see at least five 8000-meter peaks, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and more. Also, you can see dozens of other 7000 m and 8000 m pics at a distance. This viewpoint can be compared with the Poon Hill Ghorepani trek in the Annapurna region, but you can see even more mountains from this viewpoint.
Amazing villages
Throughout the trekking route, you can find many interesting villages. Just as in the Everest trekking route, you can also visit many villages here. There are some settlements of the Rai, Tamang, and Sherpa peoples. This means you can explore the peace-loving Buddhist culture while also learning about the life of the local people. A deep insight into the life of mountain people can also be life-changing for many. Many travelers around the world have appreciated the simplicity and hospitality of Sherpa, and the opportunity to blend in with such a local community is a blessing in itself.
Avoid the crowd
There is no doubt that Everest is beautiful. However, most of the trekking routes in the Everest region are very crowded. Thankfully, being a newly emerging destination and an off-beaten trekking route in Nepal, you can explore the beauty of Pikey Peak without much problem. The famous routes of Everest and Annapurna are so crowded in the peak season that you might not even get a room to sleep. However, with the Pikey Peak trekking route, you can enjoy the solitude of nature while exploring the villages of Everest all by yourself.
Try local foods
The food culture of Nepali is amazing. And when you are in the mountains, there are special food habits of the Himalayan people that you can enjoy. For example, in this trekking route, you can try the local Thukpa. You can also try Tibetan bread for breakfast and Thukpa for dinner. Obviously, you can enjoy other popular Nepalese foods such as Dal Bhat, Mom, Chowmin and more. There might be orange orchards on the route, and you can pick those oranges right from the tree to enjoy.
Safety
Pikey Peak is a quite low-altitude trek in Nepal. So, it doesn't matter which season you are traveling in, it is likely to be safer than in other trekking routes in Nepal. Also, the chances of altitude sickness are very low. And most importantly, you can skip the flight to Lukla. So for anyone who is freaking out about flying to Lukla, this might be a safer destination. With less distance to travel and a lot of things to observe along the way, it is a perfect trip for beginners to Nepal.
If you want to experience a safe and exciting journey in Nepal, this is your destination.
