Overview

"Catch us on an unforgettable trip to Pisang Peak– one of the ‘most spectacular trekking peaks’ in Nepal. Conveniently located in the Annapurna region, the climb can be easily combined with a trekking tour of the region."

Pisang Peak (6092 m.) is considered one of the easier but more technical climbing peaks among the trekking peaks in the Annapurna Region of Nepal. The Pisang Peak has majestically stood up above the village of Pisang and has formed the shape of a pyramid on the summit. Pisang Peak lies on the way to the highest pass of the world “Thorong La Pass” and offers a very good scope for exploration.

For Pisang Peak Climbing the trekking starts from drive via Besisahar to Dharapani and trekking in the Valley of the Marsyangdi River toward Chame. The diversity of flora and fauna along the trail of this Annapurna Region until reaching the Pisang peak is incredible. Firstly, we departure to Besisahar from Kathmandu and take 4/WD to Dharapani then start trek enroot common Annapurna Circuit trails and reach Pisang in 3 days. A Kharka at 4380m is considered the best place for setting up the base camp for Pisang Peak to ascent. The paths toward the summit of Pisang Peak ascend through wood and pasture and ultimately reach to the Kharka. The high camp for this Pisang Peak Climbing is set up at (5,400m) climbing to a shoulder on the South-West Ridge. There will be snow at the high camp from the end of November to the end of March. The well-defined ridge leads to the final snow slope, which is quite steep and a little difficult to reach the summit of Peak Pisang.

The summit of the Pisang Peak offers truly splendid views of the Annapurna Range like Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV, Gangapurna and the Glacier Dome. Thus indeed, it is a peak of Sightseeing in the snow-capped mountains of the Area. After a successful summit, the descent is made through the same route and trek continued to Manang valley and proceeds further up to Throng Pedi, cross a Thorong La pass 5416m and approach to Muktinath, another part of the Annapurna Region. The next day you will descend the trek to Jomsom to wait for an adventurous 20 minutes flight back to Pokhara.
