Pikey Peak trekking in the lower section of the Everest region is especially designed for those who like to explore nature and are interested in the local culture but may not have time for a longer trip, or are unable to go to high elevations. The trip starts from Patale, after a 30 minute scenic mountain flight to Phaplu from Kathmandu and approximately 2 hour’s jeep drive to Patale from there.
