Mt. Everest – the world’s highest peak is the dream destination. To see it at the closest distance is a boon. Pikey Peak is the point from where the view of Mt. Everest is at its best. Sir Edmund Hillary also claimed Pikey Peak to be his favorite vantage point to witness the mesmerizing beauty of Mt. Everest. Pikey in the Sherpa language represents the Sherpa Clan deity, the God of the sky over nature. Pikey Peak Trek is a newly presented trek that is recently opened for trekkers in the Khumbu region. Those trekkers who have been to Pikey Peak are also claiming that it is the best point that allows the closest view of Mt. Everest.
