Pisang Peak Climb

The Pisang peaks in the Manang Himal range offer good scope for exploration. Pisang Peak is the most popular among the trekking peaks in Nepal in Annapurna region. The peak rises above from Pisang village and yak pastures in a uniform slope of ice and snow to the final summit pyramid. The western flank of Pisang Peak is guarded by a hanging glacier and offers a considerable challenge, while the western end of the ridge is guarded by huge rock slabs, which are difficult to climb. A German Expedition made the first ascent in 1955. With its distinguished snow and ice pyramid shape, the mountain is considered one of the most impressive and beautiful peak in the area. We will climb Pisang by following a steep and well-defined ridge to the summit from the south-east side. From the top there are impressive views of Annapurna II & III, Manaslu, Gangapurna as well as numerous other peaks.

To reach the base camp from Pisang village, the path ascends through sparse wood and pasture to a Kharka at 4,380m(14,366ft) which is considered the best place for setting up the base camp. High Camp is set up at 5,400m (17,715ft) climbing to a shoulder on the South-West Ridge.
