Pikey Peak

The Pikey Peak in Nepal offers a great view encompassing the Everest and the surrounding mountains. It is 4,065m above sea level.  According to Edmund Hillary, who was part of the Mount Everest’s first ascend team, this is the best viewpoint in Nepal to view the Everest from.

Gokyo Ri

Gokyo Ri is a rocky peak that is 5,357m above sea level. Compared to its sibling, Kala Patthar, Gokyo Ri peak is lesser-known and is one of the farther away view-points. Despite that, it offers a scenic view of Mt Everest. In some people’s opinion, the view from Gokyo Ri is better than Kala Patthar. Apart from Everest, 3 additional mountain peaks, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu can be viewed as well.

Nagarkot Kathmandu Valley

If you are one of those who wants to stay close to Kathmandu or aren’t comfortable travelling around a lot, then Nagarkot is the best option for you. The peaceful village is located on top of a hill just outside of Kathmandu and is surrounded with picturesque views of the mountains. Apparently one cannot view the whole of Everest, but the tip of the mighty mountain is visible. It is suggested to carry a good pair of binoculars along.
