Overview
Pikey Peak is a 4000-meter “hill” summit that commands stunning panoramic views of the Everest Range.
While the trails do not go into the Himalayan Region amidst the snow peaks, they rove around the mid-hills and the range of hills just below the main Everest Region, rolling from 2300m to 4200m through ancient Rhododendron and Fur Forests, Spruce covered hilltops and cultivated farmland. In Spring, the area comes alive with Rhododendron, Orchids, and Magnolia blooms. While the area is dominated by dense forest, small Sherpa and Rai Villages can be found as well as Monasteries and some cultivated land.
The Pikey Peak Trails are for those riders who love to hit the trail hard, while most people come to Nepal with the expectation of getting up close and personal in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, we cannot deliver that on this trip, but we can deliver the best single tracks and riding offer in Nepal. The trails are not mountain bike specific, there is certainly no bike park, which means they are natural and raw. Riders coming here should be fit and competent. Trails vary from steep, open rocky descents off grassy hilltops, down to rooty, slick jungle trails, stone stairs, and some super fun fast-flowing loamy sections. By Heli Dropping on the Peak, you save days of driving and uphill pedalling.
