Pisang Peak Climbing

Duration: 2 Nights 3 Days

With the altitude of 6,091m, Pisang Peak is located north to the famous Annapurna I (8,091m). Pisang Peak Climbing not only takes you to beautiful Manang Valley but also gives the pleasure of experiencing the wildlife and natural flora and fauna of Annapurna Conservation Area. Along with the sublime views of the mesmerizing snow-capped mountains, the Pisang Peak Climbing journey ensures a memorable affair with the Annapurna Himalayas. Getting familiar with the ancient culture and tradition of Manangi and Tibetan communities is another achievement in itself. Thorung La Pass at 5416m and sacred pilgrimage site of Buddhist and Hindu in Muktinath are the major attractions of this journey as well.

After your arrival in Kathmandu, you immediately head to your respective hotel. The second day is scheduled for trek preparation and sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley. The UNESCO world heritage sites make up for excellent sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley. On the third day, you start your long drive to Dharapani. The drive will take you through the town of Besisahar and Syange. From Syange, you drive alongside the bank of Marshyangdi River which finally takes you to Dharapani via Tal. The trail now passes through Chame and proceeds towards Upper Pisang. Along the way, you walk past the forest of pine, juniper and rhododendron crossing few suspension bridges and beautiful waterfalls. From Pisang, you ascend towards Pisang Peak Base Camp from where you get a breathtaking view of Manang Valley. From base camp, you start the climb. You ascend to the summit of Pisang Peak at 6091m along the Kuntu Danda and snow-covered terraces. Once at the top, you get a panoramic view of Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Annapurna Range, Gangapurna (7,454m), Tilicho Peak (7,134m), Lamjung Himal (6,983m) and many more. Similarly, crossing Manang and Yak Kharka, you cross the demanding Thorung La Pass (5,416m). A descent takes you to Muktinath Temple and then to Jomsom.
