Overview

Pisang Peak Climbing (6,091m) is one of the most popular trekking peaks in the Annapurna region, perfect for adventure seekers looking to combine high-altitude trekking with a thrilling Himalayan summit. This 18-day journey takes you through the legendary Annapurna Circuit trail, offering breathtaking landscapes, diverse culture, and a rewarding climbing experience.

The trip begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar, followed by trekking through lush valleys, terraced fields, and traditional Gurung and Manangi villages. As you ascend higher, the landscape transforms into rugged alpine terrain, with stunning views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, and Lamjung Himal. The climb to Pisang Peak itself requires some basic mountaineering skills, including the use of ropes, crampons, and ice axes, making it an excellent choice for climbers with limited experience but good fitness.

Acclimatization days in Manang and the gradual ascent help prepare your body for the altitude, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable climb. The highlight of the expedition is the summit day, where you’ll stand on top of Pisang Peak, gazing at an incredible 360° panorama of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, and even as far as the Tibet plateau on a clear day.

After the climb, the route continues across the iconic Thorong La Pass (5,416m), one of the highest trekking passes in the world. Descending into the Mustang region, you’ll visit Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, before reaching Jomsom. From here, a short flight to Pokhara allows you to relax by Phewa Lake and soak in the charm of Nepal’s lake city before returning to Kathmandu.

This 19-day Pisang Peak adventure is a perfect blend of mountain climbing, cultural exploration, and Himalayan trekking. With professional climbing guides, well-planned acclimatization, and breathtaking landscapes at every step, Pisang Peak is an unforgettable challenge for anyone dreaming of climbing in Nepal.
