Pikey Hill

Pikey hill (4065m) is one of the tallest hills at lower part of Everest region. From this hill one can view the breathtaking sunrise and sunset in good weather. Besides, one can also see most of the central and eastern Himalayan peak from the hill top. There are two trails that lead to the Pikey hill either through Jiri or Phaplu. A trail through Jiri- Chaula Kharka- Ngaur is mostly up and down and quite steep climb from Kenja Khola. The trail starting at Phaplu is a bit easier than the Jiri- Pikey hill trail. However, both the trails go through beautiful landscape, pastures and Sherpa settlements. One can experience Sherpa culture, tradition and way of living through out the trekking trip. One can also visit one of the most popular Thuptencholing monastery on the way and if it is festival time, it will be a most exciting experience to participate in one of the Buddhist festivals or take a short term Buddhist meditation course with Rimpoche (head teacher)
