Pisang
Peak is the most popular among the trekking peaks in Nepal in Annapurna
region. Trekkers with little experience in climbing can combine the popular
classic Annapurna circuit trek with Pisang Peak climbing to have the taste
of climbing in Himalayas in Nepal. The peak rises above from Pisang village
and yak pastures in a uniform slope of ice and snow to the final summit
pyramid. Pisang peak is considered one of the easy climbing peaks among
the trekking peaks in Nepal. To reach the base camp from Pisang village,
the path ascends through sparse wood and pasture to a Kharka at (4,380m)
which is considered the best place for setting up the base camp. High
Camp is set up at (5,400m) climbing to a shoulder on the South-West Ridge.
There will be snow at the high camp from the end of November to the end
of March. The well defined ridge leads to the final snow slop which is
quite steep but not difficult to reach the summit. Descent is made on
the same route.
