Pisang Peak is one of the popular trekking peak which rises above Pisang village
of Annapurna conservation area and lush green Yak pastures in a uniform slope
of ice and snow to the final pyramid like summit. Pisang peak is considered one
of the easier climbing peaks among the trekking peaks of Nepal. To reach the base
camp from Pisang village, the path ascends through sparse forested areas and pasturelands
to Kharka (4380m), which is considered the ideal place for setting up Base Camp.
High Camp is set up at 5400m, after climbing to a shoulder on the South-West Ridge.
There is 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, however,
it is not difficult to reach the summit. The descent is made along the same route.
Although this climb is considered to be among the easier ones of the Himalayan
region, a reasonably high level of physical fitness and health is still strongly
recommended.
This interesting climb starts from Beshishahar in the Valley of the Marshyangdi
River. The trail leads you through vastly contrasting flora & fauna towards
the majestic peak of Mt. Manasalu and Lamjung Himal. A major intersection of
the trail meets at Dharapani while trekking through Larkya La. The Massif of
Manang valley is really rich in unique culture and landscapes in fact the Annapurna
and Damodar peaks dominate the valley. The trail from here follows a demanding
walk to the Pisang Peak. A technical section takes you to a place from where
you can catch the entire panorama of the Annapurna Range. The trail then ascends
from the Manang valley to reach the top of the Throng Pass at 5416m. After this
you have a chance to visit the famous temple of Muktinath. The final part of
the trek takes you to Jomsom from where a flight transports you across the great
Himalayas to Pokhara.
At 6 am your Sherpa will knock on your door with a chirpy good morning, followed shortly by a basin of hot water to wash in. Then it's time to order breakfast, pack up your kit and head off to trek for the next three hours through forests, hills, mountains and local villages. You'll stop for an hour at a particularly pleasant spot along the way for a well-earned hot lunch. Then you'll then walk another three hours or so, before you stop for the night. Then you can have tea or coffee and some light snacks, before exploring the area with trek leader or just relaxing until dinner is served in a warm dining hall.
The evenings are spent reading or chatting with your fellow trekkers and crew about the trip so far(s). A pack of cards is an asset on these nights; the crew love teaching various Nepali card games and learning new Western games. Finally, it's off to bed for a well deserved night's rest before you start it all again.
