Pisang Peak Climbing Overview
Pisang Peak is located in the center of the Annapurna mountain range in the center of Pasang village. Pisang Peak is one of the most technical and attractive climbing peaks in the Annapurna region. Pisang Peak Expedition has majestic landscapes, serene forests, and fascinating plateaus.
The climbing is relatively easy and also popular due to its immense fame. The peak offers a close-up view of Mt. Annapurna with a challenging climb and allows climbers to explore the highest passes in the world.
Pisang Peak altitude and route
Our journey begins at Chamje, the same route that follows the Annapurna Circuit. A 5-day trek will lead us to the destination town. Pisang Peak high camp is built at an elevation of 5,400 m. You will find it on the shoulder of the southwest ridge.
This ridge will guide us to the last snow slope. The Pisang Peak offers a steep and somewhat difficult climb before finally reaching the top. Climbers summit the peak at an altitude of 6,091 m.
Tilicho Peak view trek is wonderful and offers great panoramas. The vistas include Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV, Gangapurna, and Glacier Dome. The furthest ends of the horizon are filled with snow-capped mountains.
After the ascent, the descent continues along the same route. It continues to the Manang Valley trekking and reaches Thorong Pedi. Then, we cross the Throng La pass to reach Muktinath, another jewel of the Annapurna region.
The next day, the trek is followed by a descent to Jomsom. We then follow the Jomsom Pokhara flight trekking route. After a 20-minute flight to Pokhara, we move to our journey's end in Kathmandu.
