The Best Everest Views: Trekking to Nepal's Pikey Peak

About This Tour

A 10-day trek to Pikey Peak, once favored by Sir Edmund Hillary for its panorama of eight Himalayan ranges including Everest, through Sherpa villages, rhododendron forest, and rural homestays east of Kathmandu. Voyzo runs this route as a fully private tour — your own vehicle, driver, and trekking guide throughout — matching the private transfers and dedicated trekking crew the source itinerary already includes.
