Pisang Peak Climbing is one of the most popular peak climbing adventures in the Annapurna region, largely due to its location north of the Manang Valley, which is part of the renowned Annapurna Circuit trek. While it is often considered “mainstream,” it presents significant challenges, with a summit height of 6,091 meters and a base camp that can only be accessed by trekking through a rugged mountain landscape. The diverse environments, various cultures, and ever-changing scenery—including lush green paddy fields, oak woodlands, dry deserts, and some of the deepest crevasses in the world—make this trek an unforgettable experience.

Your 18-day Pisang Peak Climbing adventure begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Dharapani. The trek starts through marshy paddy fields and gradually ascends through oak and pine forests to reach Manang and Pisang. From there, we make our way to the base camp, set at an altitude of 4,380 meters, traversing scrubby woodlands and fields.

High Camp is situated at 5,400 meters on a shoulder of the South-West Ridge. From this vantage point, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views that extend from Pisang town through yak pastures, leading to the summit pyramid adorned with ice and snow. The perspectives from the summit include stunning vistas over the Manang Valley and the Annapurna Range, making it accessible even for those with limited climbing experience.

After reaching the summit, we will continue trekking to Manang Valley and then ascend to Thorong Pedi and the Thorong La Pass. Our journey culminates in the serene sanctuary of Muktinath. The trek concludes in Jomsom, where we will take a flight back to Pokhara, with a transfer to Kathmandu the following day.

While Pisang Peak is less demanding than other peaks, it remains physically challenging. The ideal months for climbing Pisang Peak are October and November during the harvest season, as well as April and May in the spring.
