Pisang Peak is one of the popular peaks for climbing in Nepal and rises
opposite of Annapurna II (7937). Pisang Peak lays roughly in between the giants’
Annapurna I and Manaslu both over eight thousand’s mountain.
Pisang Peak rises above from Pisang village and yak pastures in a uniform slope
of ice and snow to the final summit pyramid. This peak is considered as the easy
climbing peak 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.
