Pisang Peak climbing is another popular trekking peak in Nepal. The height of Pisang Peak is 6092m/19981ft from sea level. This peak is located between two giant peaks, Annapurna I and Manasalu, which are around 8000 meters. Pisang Peak rises above Pisang village and yak pastures on a uniform slope of ice and snow to the summit. Climbing this peak is not very difficult. So it does not require expedition training. For climbing Pisang Peak, you should follow the path of the Annapurna Circuit trekking. The trekking starts from Beshi Sahar. On the sixth day of trekking, you arrive at Pisang Base Camp (4420m/14497ft). Before you reach the base camp, you enjoy the beautiful natural wonders like waterfalls, green paddy fields, arid deserts, oak forests, and gorges. The next day, you walk to high camp at 5400m/17712ft. From high camp, your peak climbing begins. The well-defined ridge leads to the final snow slope, which is quite steep but not difficult to reach the summit. After your summit of Pisang Peak, your trekking leads to Thorung La Pass (5416m/17764ft), Muktinath, and Jomsom. Jomsom is the final destination of the trek. From there, you take a flight to Pokhara.
Reach 6,091m. From that spot, you can look out at Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, Manaslu, and Tilicho Peak.
This hike works well for people who already know mountaineering basics. Pisang Peak is not too technical, yet it still feels like a true Himalayan climb.
You will walk parts of the Annapurna Circuit. Along the way you see villages, rhododendron forests, and high passes before you push on toward the summit.
Expect snow and ice underfoot. You will cross some glacier zones and take ridge paths that feel wide and exposed.
Plan time in Manang. You will notice Tibetan style touches, old monasteries, and people who are easy to talk with. This lines up with the usual path to the Pisang Peak basecamp.
You climb with experienced Sherpa guides. You also follow a clear plan for getting used to the altitude. Good gear support is in place for a safer, steady climb to the top.
