Lower Everest Pikey Trek


The view from Pikey Peak 4150 m high from sea level may be the best view in Nepal. In fact on a clear day we can have a great panoramic view of Mt. Everest 8848 m it’s possible to see Dhaulagiri (in the far west) all the way to Kanchenjunga, which borders India in the far east.  And everything in-between. It is a truly breathtaking sight taking in countless giant peaks to the north and deep valleys dropping away into the clouds to the south.

That’s a bold statement indeed, but Edmund Hillary himself claimed it his favorite view of Everest and I’m inclined to agree with him. The advantage of being slightly further away from the big peaks is the views stretch further and encompass more.

The another famous view point Thole demba which is 3150 m high from sea level. We just celebrate great tourism festival 2017, According to the legends, there are seven famous hills in Nepal and about 7 hills, 1 hill located in Dhankuta, 1 in Okhaldhunga, 1 is in between Ramechhap and Dolakha, 1 is in the central part of Nepal, and 3 others are located in far western part of the country.

These seven hills are attributed hill which were used for survey as well. These hills were of equal height and of equal triangular shape. These hills were used to survey the parts of China and India in the past. This historical hill is surrounded by the districts Ramechhap, Sindhuli, Udaypur, Khotang and Solukhumbu. The panoramic view of Phoolchowki (Lalitpur), Gaura Parvat, Gauri Shankar Himal, Numbur mountain range to Mount Everest can be viewed from here. Tholedemba is located between 6 villages development committee in western Okhaldhunga (Bhusinga, Rawadolu, Patale, Khijiphalate, Khijichandeswori, and Khijikati)

Best Season

The best time to trek are Autumn (Sept. to Dec.) and Spring (March to May). The treks during Winter and Summer (monsoon) aren’t impossible but just quite challenging. For the best experience, the early and late Spring and Autumn would be preferable due to less tourist traffic.

During the early Spring, the vegetations look fresh with early flowers starting to bloom in several kinds of plants. The villages are full of activity in preparation of family farms for planting the crops. The days are generally sunny due to which they offer good scenery.

The early Autumn is fresh green after a period of warm rainy days from summer monsoon. The month long Nepali festivals of Dasain and Tihar can also coincide and the harvest time also starts in many of the villages.

The early Winter (late Autumn) is also a very good time if one prefers lower elevations in the Himalayas.
