Days: 19 / Difficulty: 5 of 5 (Very Strenuous)
Min Group Size: 1 / Max Group Size: 8

Pisang Peak Climbing takes us through one of the most famous and classical trekking routes in the Annapurna region leading us to the beautiful Manang Village culminating to the summit of the Pisang Peak. The diverse landscapes and the sparkling snow-covered peaks are the major attractions of this region. The climbing journey further amazes us as we get an awe-striking view atop the Thorong-La pass (5416m) and leads us to sacred pilgrimage sites of Buddhists and Hindus alike.

Our journey to Pisang Peak starts by a scenic and long drive from Kathmandu to Chamje. We continue further to Dharapani followed by an ascent leading to Pisang village, resting at the foot of the glorious mountain. The trail is difficult to ascend from Base Camp and needs some technical knowledge and few prior practices to ascend the summit. The trail passes through the dense alpine forests and the ever-smiling beautiful villages. The Pisang peak is a pyramid-shaped peak so we ascend in the south-east direction and is suitable for true adventure lover with a good fitness level. We can enjoy the magnificent views of Annapurna and Chulu ranges from the Pisang Peak summit. Pisang Peak Climbing leads us to the small villages inhabited by the diverse ethnic group, rich with ancient culture. We will get the chance to see the dramatic change in landscapes from rice and barley fields to the alpine forests and then to the dry, cold and arctic climatic zone. We will encounter many waterfalls and rivers flowing in our ways like Bhotekoshi, Kali Gandaki and Marsayangdi. All in all, Pisang Peak Climbing in Nepal is an extraordinary journey that not only offers us a taste of mountaineering experience but leads us to religious and cultural domains inheriting rich customs and practices.
