Pisang Peak Climbing
Highlights of the Trip
Overview
Pisang Peak, standing at 6,091 meters (19,974 feet) in the Manang region of Nepal, is a popular trekking peak in the Annapurna Conservation Area. First ascended in 1955 by a German expedition, it offers a moderate climb suitable for trekkers with basic mountaineering experience. The ascent combines trekking and technical climbing over snow, ice, and occasional rock sections, often using fixed ropes on steeper slopes. From its summit, climbers are rewarded with panoramic views of Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, Gangapurna, and Lamjung Himal. Best attempted during the pre-monsoon (March–May) and post-monsoon (September–November) seasons, Pisang Peak provides a perfect introduction to high-altitude climbing in the Himalayas, requiring permits from the Nepal Mountaineering Association and the Annapurna Conservation Area. It is ideal for those seeking both adventure and spectacular Himalayan scenery without the extreme challenges of higher peaks.
