Pisang Peak is the most popular trekking peak on the Annapurna Circuit. A German expedition made the first ascent of Pisang Peak in 1955, and since then it has been a favorite of many climbers. Access to the peak is gained from the eastern side of the circuit, about halfway to the Thorong pass. This trip offers a great opportunity to explore this geographically diverse region. You will pass through alpine meadows and trans- Himalayan landscapes.
The route up Pisang Peak is along the western flank. This site is guarded by a hanging glacier and offers climbers a considerable technical and physical challenge. The western end of the ridge has huge rock slabs, which make it difficult to climb.
Many climbers combine an ascent of Pisang Peak with the Annapurna Circuit trek, giving them a thorough taste of some of the best climbing and trekking that Nepal has to offer. The peak rises directly above Pisang village and the surrounding yak pastures, creating a uniform slope of ice and snow to the summit pyramid. Pisang peak is considered as technical a climbing peak as any of the trekking peaks in Nepal.
Our trip starts from the village of Bulbule, which is a 6-7 hour bus or private transfer from Kathmandu. From Bulbule we follow the Annapurna Circuit trails all the way to Pisang village. From Pisang, our trek to base camp (at Kharka, 4,380m) ascends through sparse wood and pasture. We spend two days at base camp, acclimatizing and training our climbers in the use of their equipment.
High camp is set up at (5,400m), on the shoulder on the South-West Ridge. Climbers should expect snow at the high camp from the end of November to the beginning of April. The summit offers a truly amazing view of many snowy peaks, including those of Annapurna and Manaslu ranges.
After the summit we will continue the trek, crossing Thorong-La (5416m). Thorong-La provides great views of both Manang and Mustang.
Once we are over this high pass we descend into the Kaligandaki valley and the dry but beautiful lower Mustang region. Towns here include Muktinath and Kagbeni. In Muktinath, we visit a sacred temple where Hindus, Buddhists, and Bon practitioners all still worship, a great example of modern-day religious tolerance.
Our trek ends at Jomsom, from which daily flights leave for Pokhara.
