Pisang Peak climbing is a popular mountaineering expedition in the Annapurna region of Nepal, standing at an elevation of 6,091 meters (19,980 feet). Known for its stunning views and relatively straightforward climbing route, Pisang Peak offers an exciting challenge for mountaineers with some technical experience. The 12-day itinerary is a perfect blend of trekking through beautiful landscapes and tackling the peak itself.
The journey begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar, followed by a trek to Pisang, a village nestled in the heart of the Annapurna range. The trek takes you through lush forests, terraced fields, and traditional Gurung villages, providing a glimpse of local culture and the region’s rich biodiversity. As you ascend to higher altitudes, the landscape changes, offering panoramic views of the Annapurna and Manaslu mountain ranges.
Acclimatization is a crucial aspect of the trek, and a rest day at Pisang village helps climbers adjust to the altitude. The journey then progresses toward Pisang Base Camp, where you prepare for the final ascent. The climbing route involves navigating steep snow and ice slopes, rocky ridges, and technical sections that require the use of crampons, ice axes, and ropes.
Reaching the summit of Pisang Peak is an exhilarating experience. The summit offers sweeping views of the Annapurna massif, Dhaulagiri, and the surrounding peaks. After summiting, climbers descend back to base camp and then retrace their steps to the trailhead, making their way back to Kathmandu.
Pisang Peak climbing is a rewarding adventure for climbers seeking to experience the thrill of Himalayan mountaineering while being immersed in the natural beauty of Nepal’s Annapurna region.
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by your guide and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to relax or explore the vibrant capital city of Nepal.
Today, you begin your journey with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Chame, the administrative center of the Manang district. The drive takes you through picturesque valleys, terraced fields, and along the Marsyangdi River. Upon arrival in Chame, you’ll have time to rest and prepare for the trek ahead.
The trek starts today as you leave Chame and make your way to Upper Pisang. The trail ascends through pine forests and offers spectacular views of peaks like Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal. Upper Pisang is a charming village where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding beauty.
To ensure proper acclimatization, today is a rest day. You can explore Upper Pisang or take a short hike to higher altitudes to help your body adjust to the increasing elevation. This day is crucial to prevent altitude sickness and prepare for the challenging climb ahead.
Today’s trek takes you from Upper Pisang to Pisang Peak Base Camp. As you ascend, the landscape becomes more rugged, with views of glaciers and rocky terrain. Base camp is where you will spend the night and prepare for the final stages of the climb.
The trek continues today to Pisang Peak High Camp, located at 5,400 meters. This section of the climb is steeper, and the terrain becomes more alpine. You’ll be surrounded by snow-capped peaks and enjoy spectacular views of the Annapurna range as you settle into High Camp.
Today is the summit day. You’ll start early in the morning, pushing through challenging terrain including snow and ice, to reach the summit of Pisang Peak at 6,091 meters. Once on the summit, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. After spending some time at the summit, you’ll descend back to Base Camp for the night.
A reserve day is included in the itinerary to account for any bad weather or unforeseen circumstances. This ensures that you have flexibility in case of delays or complications during the climb.
After the summit push, you descend to Dhikur Pokhari. The trail takes you through beautiful forests, offering views of traditional Nepali villages and terraced fields. It’s a relaxed day that allows you to enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding nature.
Today, you’ll drive from Dhikur Pokhari back to Besisahar. The drive is scenic, passing through rural landscapes and offering glimpses of the Annapurna range as you approach the city.
You will drive back to Kathmandu today. The journey takes you through scenic valleys and terraced landscapes, eventually returning to the hustle and bustle of the capital. Once in Kathmandu, you’ll have some free time to relax or explore the city before your departure.
On the final day of your adventure, you will be transferred to the airport for your international flight. Take with you memories of a thrilling and rewarding expedition in the Himalayas, and reflect on your accomplishments as you bid farewell to Nepal.
Note: If you return earlier from the trek due to illness or any other issue, the money paid for your flight, hotel, meals, and mountain room is non-refundable. You will need to bear the costs for any additional hotel stays, food, or services in Kathmandu on your own.
You will be carrying all of your gear and share some of the cluster gear. Keeping your pack light is important, so choose light-weight clothing and equipment. Be sure to have a range of clothing suitable for all conditions. Sudden change of weather may require layering of clothing. Three layers will meet your needs. Avoid cotton or fabrics that do not maintain heat when cold. Comfortable durable wool (or proven fabrics) that breathe and expel sweat lends itself to an additional pleasant experience!'
We will offer complimentary water and a windproof duffle that you'll use on the trek - carried by porters. The duffle is yours to keep once at the end of the trek. You can safely leave your bag, together with your non-trekking requirements, at our office in Katmandu and collect them upon your return.
All equipment, such as base camp tents, room accessories, climbing rope, ice screws, snow bar and ice hammer is provided by Sherpa Expedition & Trekking.
It is important to invest in high-quality gear and ensure that everything fits properly and is in good condition. Additionally, consult with experienced climbers or a professional guide to ensure you have all the necessary gear and receive proper training on how to use it effectively and safely.
