Pikey Peak Trek is the best option in contrast to the packed Everest Base Camp Trek. As we trek along less-traveled routes, we’re treated to breathtaking views of Mount Everest (8848m), Kanchenjunga (8586m), and Makalu (8463m), standing proudly against the sky. The trek comes full circle at Pikey Peak (4068m) which offers perhaps the best perspective on the mountains in the Everest run. Albeit a recently opened trek, it enables the trekkers to appreciate the Sherpa culture less group and bother.
