Pikey Peak Trekking

Pikey Peak Trekking

Duration 9 Days

Trip Highlights

Pikey Peak Trek is a relatively new trekking route in the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal, but the area has a long history and cultural significance. The trek starts from the small town of Phaplu, which is located in the Lower Solu region of Nepal, and takes trekkers to the summit of Pikey Peak at an elevation of 4,065 meters (13,335 feet).  The history of the Pikey Peak area is closely linked with the indigenous Sherpa community, who have been living in the Solu-Khumbu region for centuries. The Sherpas are known for their mountaineering skills and have played a key role in helping mountaineers climb the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest. The Pikey Peak area has long been considered a sacred site by the Sherpa people, who believe that the peak is the home of their ancestral spirits. The Pikey Peak area has also been a site of significant cultural exchange. The area lies on an ancient trade route that connected Tibet with Nepal and India, and the Sherpas have played a key role in facilitating this trade for centuries.

The area is also home to a number of Buddhist monasteries and is considered a sacred site for Buddhists as well. Despite the cultural and historical significance of the area, the Pikey Peak Trek is a relatively new route for trekkers. The trek was opened in 2011 by the Nepal Tourism Board and is quickly gaining popularity among trekkers who are looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience. The trek offers stunning views of the Himalayan range, including Mount Everest, and takes trekkers through remote Sherpa villages and beautiful alpine forests. Overall, the Pikey Peak Trek is a wonderful way to experience the cultural and natural beauty of the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal. While the trek itself may be relatively new, the area has a long and rich history that is worth exploring.
