Pikey Peak Trekking
Pikey peak entwines with the Chyabe across east to west. The name Pikey comes from the two titles of the Sherpas. During the month of July is a time of great celebration as the locals worship their clan god, the eastern Chyabo Pikey, as Pikey Hlapchen Karbu in the celebrations. The hill is most popular for its sunrise and sunset views and one can enjoy the glorious sight of the haughty peaks beyond Kathmandu valley to the plains along with the Himalayan range of Mt. Everest, Makalu and Annapurna, unique Sherpa culture, panoramic views and picturesque landscapes.

Luxury Everest View Trek
If you are like me then you would have dreamt of climbing Everest and experiencing tranquility like you’ll find nowhere else on Earth. Yeah it’s a long walk, but it makes it easier to do it in as much luxury as possible rather than tents on the side of a mountain.
I stumbled across this rather good little Kathmandu based company who specialize in organising luxury Everest treks. Whilst the lodges may not be of the same luxury you are used to, they are by far the best you’ll find in the area. One of the many stunning views ‘Ama Dablam’.
The trek between lodges takes you through beautiful Nepalese villages with spectacular views of the Khumbu and Everest region. This is a moderate walk, designed for the first time trekker, which follows some of the classic Everest base camp trek before heading to the quieter Thame valley.
