Pike Peak Trek

Pike Peak Trek is an exclusive adventure that leads to the hidden pockets of the southern region of Everest. The area falls within the Solu-Khumbu district around Nepal Mid-East, and the trekking trails are quite raw. Where few groups of trekkers seldom venture into this remote and isolated country of Solu. An enjoyable walk on a less-visited path, the villagers hardly come across western travelers passing through their villages.

A Perfect Hike and Stunning Views of the Himalayas

Short Pike Peak Trek is a perfect country walk for all interested people of all age groups. Without a problem of catching AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness), which is common around high altitude trekking, around the Himalayas. The charm of Pike View Point Hill Trekking is walking on a tranquil path in the harmony of natural surroundings. The trek follows through rural farm villages and into an enchanting forest lined with tall rhododendron, magnolia, and pine trees.
