The journey
Escape the bustle of Kathmandu on a rewarding 4-day trek to Pikey Peak, a quieter Himalayan viewpoint known for its dramatic sunrise panoramas. Travel through forest trails, ridge walks, rhododendron terrain, yak pastures, and traditional villages while experiencing local mountain life and gradually gaining altitude toward base camp. The highlight is an early summit hike to Pikey Peak at 4,065 m, where breathtaking sunrise views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan range await. After the summit, descend through scenic landscapes and return to Kathmandu by road.
