Pikey Peak is a 4,065 metres (13,337 ft) high mountain in the Solukhumbu District of Nepal. A clear day on the summit provides a view of multiple 8,000 m peaks, including what is said to have been Edmund Hillary's favorite view of Everest.[1][2][3][4][5]
Trekkers may approach Pikey Peak from the south beginning in Dhap and passing through Jhapre. An approach from the west may commence at either Jiri or Shivalaya, passing through Deurali, Tallo Bandhar, and Goli Gumba along the way.
Pikey Peak is accessible by hike that connects the road from Kathmandu via Salleri, and by air through Phaplu Airport, which is connected to Kathmandu by seasonal flights.
