Peak Climbing

PISANG PEAK (6,091m / 19,802ft)

Classic Annapurna Round trek, Exotic high valleys of Manang & Pisang Peak climbing

Pisang peak rises from the yak pastures above the Pisang village on the way to the classic Annapurna circuit route in a uniform slope to the final summit pyramid which is an undistinguished snow and ice slope, comprising a curve ridge and made up of steeply tilted rock, towering above the valley. The whole western flank, which is guarded by glacier, might offer you a considerable challenge, first a traverse of the whole summit ridge, which connects, to a more northern summit before curving back west.  This peak ranks the finest trekking peaks of Nepal. The fist ascent of this peak was made solo in 1955 by J. Wellenkamp(Germany). Upon ascension we again follow the famous Annapurna round route via Thorong-La(5,400m) to Jomsom and then take a panoramic mountain scenic flight to Kathmandu via Pokhara.
