Trekking around Everest in a lower elevation? Yes, it is possible in Pikey Peak Trek. It is a great, less-discovered, and less crowded route. A 6-8 days trek allows you to make it without stress and additionally, you have a chance to visit some Buddhist sites (monasteries, gompas, stupas, and Mani-wall) and sunrise from Pikey Peak summit. You can enjoy amazing views of the Himalayas range from East to West, Including Everest “Sagarmatha” Numbur Himal, Karyalung, Makalu, Amadablam, Barruntse, Tahamserku, Mera peak, and so on and to the west, Gourishankar, Dorje Lakpa, Khang Chhembu, Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu. Not only the Himalayas but also flora and fauna, depending on what season, if it’s springtime, the blossom of Rhododendrons, there are different types and colors. Sound of birds singing as it’s a good time for them for breeding, and Yaks grazing in the meadow.
Autumn is beautiful and lush as just finished monsoon, with generally blue sky to the north walling with the Himalaya range, as it’s Yaks territory, we come across a flock of Yaks in the meadow. The herder/owner, they have a dry Yak cheese (Churpi) available.
