Pisang Peak (6091m) rises above from Pisang
village and yak pastures in a uniform slope of
ice and snow to the final summit pyramid. Pisang
peak is considered one of the easy trekking
climbing peaks among the trekking peaks in
Annapurna region. Trekkers with little
experience in climbing can combine the popular
classic Annapurna circuit trek with Pisang Peak
climbing to have the taste of climbing in
Himalayas in Nepal. A German Expedition made the
first ascent in 1955.
This trip begins with a drive of around 7/8
hours to Khudi from Katmandu which is a starting
point of famous Annapurna circuit. From here the
trail goes through a sparsely forested areas and
pasturelands to Pisang Peak base camp (4,380m).
Next day we will set up a high camp (5,400m)
climbing to a shoulder on the South-West Ridge.
The well defined ridge leads to the final snow
slop which is quite steep and little difficult
to reach the summit. Summit of the peak offers
truly splendid views of the Annapurna group
including Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV,
Ghangapurna and the Glacier Dome. After a
successful summit, we continue our trek to
Manang valley and continue further up to Thorong
Pedi. We will cross Thorong-La (5416m) a highest
pass of the world and arrive at Muktinath,
another part of the Annapurna. We descend
further down through scenic Jharkot village,
Kagbeni, a gate way to Upper Mustang and reach
Jomsom, a capital of Mustang where a small
airstrip has on the bank of Kaligandaki River
from where we take an early morning flight back
to Pokhara and the trip ends.
