Trip Facts





Trip Overview
The legend: Sir Edmund Hillary claimed that Pike Peak (4,065) is the most astounding vantage point to gaze at Everest. This Pike peak trek is the most fabulous one.
Pike Peak (4,065) is one of the most spectacular off-beaten trekking trails in lower Everest trekking. The trek provides a view of eight of Nepal’s eight-thousanders from one place, including Mt Everest. Edmund Hillary himself claimed it to be his favorite after he climbed it to take a look around during the walk-in on his 1953 expedition. The most attractive part of Pike Peak is the sunrise and sunset view from the ridge. You can witness the rising sun’s golden rays sweep through the silver mountains and change their colors from ivory to gold.
This trek is titled after the holy Pike Peak and derives its name from a Sherpa Clan deity. People of Sherpa ethnic groups celebrate the religious festival during the month of July. During the festival, they worship their tribal god, the eastern Chyabo Pike, also called Pike Hlapchen Karbu in the celebrations.
Pike Peak Trek is moderate, which is ideal for families and solo. Also, it is a perfect choice for those who have limited time but wish to experience culture and Everest on the full scale.
The trek route traverses rolling lush hills, rustic villages, and alpine forests to the windswept open ridges of Pike peak (4065 m). From the summit, you can see a sweeping view of Mt.
