Pikey Peak Trek - 10 days
Pikey Peak Trek is a fantastic trekking adventure to Everest's best viewpoint. Many trekkers regard it as the ideal vantage point for seeing Mt. Everest. Sir Edmund Hillary named it his favourite site to view Everest. The local Sherpa Clan god, who symbolizes the sky over nature, is the source of the name Pikey. Pikey Peak Trek is a recently established hiking route in the Khumbu region that provides us with an up-close view of Everest and the lower Khumbu region and stunning sceneries. The sunrise and sunset views over the enormous peaks are so spectacular that they will stay with you for the rest of your life. Aside from the beautiful Himalayan views, you will learn about the unique geography and the life it supports. The distinct Sherpa culture and hospitality are pretty appealing. Because it is a freshly discovered hiking trail, it provides an unusual and exclusive trekking experience. 10 days of trekking to the Pikey Peak itinerary's daily gain in altitude is kept to a minimum to reduce the danger of Acute Mountain Sickness. Rhododendron, pine, and oak forests cover much of the Pikey Peak hiking path. Numerous mountaintop communities are surrounded by terraced fields that will be encountered as you travel. You can see Everest, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, and Kanchenjunga's majestic mountain peaks in the far west of Pikey Peak. The teahouse and lodges along the trekking trails are straightforward and arrange only the most primary services. Anyone who wants to witness the Himalayan peaks and a genuine native way of life in a short duration can go for Pikey Peak Trekking.

How to Book?
How to book holiday trip in Nepal?
Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal. Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide a guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and are authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries. Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running a business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.
On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It’s been found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many file complaints to Nepal Government and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action and advanced payment refund.Hardly any justice is given to the cheated clients.Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.
