Trip Overview

Highlights

  • Beautiful peak with a steady climb in Annapurna region
  • Combined with Annapurna circuit trek
  • Fully guided and all-inclusive climb
  • Panoramic view of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massif from summit 

Pisang Peak climb is a beautiful and fairly symmetrical peak in Annapurna region with a steady climb along a well-defined ridge to the summit. At 6091m, Pisang Peak is the most popular trekking peak in the Annapurna region and can be climbed by most, but it doesn’t come without challenge or commitment.

This peak is best for those with previous climbing experience as there are technical sections to contend with. The rapid gain on elevation from Pisang village to the Summit of Pisang peak also takes its toll but we have devised a proper itinerary with 2 acclimatization days before the summit to help mitigate the risk of altitude sickness.

We approach via the West Ridge of the mountain to the summit. A base camp at 4380m and a high camp at 5200m will be pitched before moving up to the summit allowing us to rest and acclimatize properly. The climb from the base camp involves a steep ascent on mix terrain. The route to the summit from high camp involves technical rock section and the upper part is steep and fairly exposed slopes of ice and snow (55°).

From the summit, you get a magnanimous view of Annapurna massif stretching from Annapurna II 7979m to Gangapurna 7454m.

Pisang Peak Itinerary Overview: 

Our itinerary to Pisang Peak follows the famous Annapurna circuit trekking route. After your arrival and final preparation is done in Kathmandu, we drive to Jagat via Besisahar. We trek towards Manang valley along the lush Marshyangdi river. Our initial route passes through villages like Jagat, Dharapani, and Chame in the Manang district.

We reach Upper Pisang on Day 6 and acclimatize here before moving up to Pisang base camp (4380m). The peak is reached through the northern edge of the Manang Valley. A high camp will be set up at 5200m and thereafter summit the Pisang Peak. Our return journey will continue along the Annapurna circuit over Thorung La Pass and fly to Pokhara from Jomsom.

When is the best time to climb Pisang Peak?

The best season to climb Pisang Peak is spring (Apr-May) and autumn (October-November) as temperatures are mild, and there are meagre chances of rainfall and unpredictable weather. The route to the summit of Pisang peak consists of huge rock slabs which make it difficult to climb, especially in wet and snowy conditions.

Important Note: Your safety is of imperative concern while travelling with Highland Expeditions. Please take care to note that your leader/guide has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to your safety concerns. Every effort will be made to keep to the above itinerary; however, since this adventure entails travelling in remote mountainous regions, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. Weather and health condition of a group member, unexpected natural disasters, etc., can all contribute to changes in the itinerary. The Trek & Climb leader/guide will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan, but please be prepared to be flexible if required.

Essential Information

Difficulty

Grading: 7-8 (Strenuous)

Pisang Peak climbing is considered strenuous due to longer duration trek/climb in a remote and isolated area that goes above 5500m and you need to sleep at an elevation of 5000m+ for multiple days. Climbers are required to have an excellent physical level. On summit days, you will leave camp at around 2 am and will only be back to base camp by late afternoon. This grade trip involves usages of climbing equipment (Harness, Ice Axe, Crampons, Mountaineering Boots, Ascender). Previous experience is essential and we also provide a climbing course at base camp before the actual climb where your guides will teach you the proper way to use the equipment.  

Prerequisite

To partake in Pisang peak climb, an excellent physical level is required as this trip involves a longer duration of trek/climb. Previous experience of high altitude treks is of great advantage while climbing a 6000m peak. While the previous experience of trek/climb is a requirement, our carefully planned itinerary allows people without previous experience to join as well. Proper rest and acclimatization days with an overnight at high camp have been kept in the itinerary. You should also be both mentally and physically prepared for this trip. A fierce determination, burning desire and teamwork is required. We have allowed ample time for acclimatization and contingency day on our itinerary and there will also be a climbing course at the base camp where your guide will teach you the proper way to use the equipment. 

Weather

The best seasons for Pisang Peak Climb are Autumn (from October till the end of November) and Spring (April to May). Temperatures will drop considerably as you ascend higher every day. The nights are cold (between 5C to -5C) and the days are sunny and hot (between 10C to 20C).  Mornings are usually clear, with clouds building up in the afternoon and disappearing at night. Trekking and climbing during the monsoon seasons and winters are not recommended as the visibility is poor and limited whilst upper parts and high passes could be covered with snow.

April, October and November are the favoured months. Please choose the date that is convenient for you.

Meals

All meals are included on the trek and climb from Day 03 to 19. We will provide three meals a day (B, L, D) during the trek. The menus in the teahouses are varied, ranging from traditional Nepalese dhal bhat, Momo (Dumpling) to pizza and apple pie. Despite the fact that meat is available in the teahouses, we prompt against eating it on the trek. The meat has frequently been conveyed in the warmth from lower elevations for a few days before arriving at the teahouses and can cause stomach upsets or disease. During the trek, Breakfast and Dinner will be served at the teahouse/lodge where you stay and Lunch will be along the way. For the climbing period, it will be a fully camping style. Our crew will prepare the food for us. In Kathmandu, only breakfast will be provided to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where what and with whom to eat for lunch and dinner.

If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know in advance and we will be sure to pass your message to your guide. For a gluten-free diet, we highly recommend you to bring extra foods especially for breakfast as your options for the breakfast will be limited. Meals worth USD 1200-1500 are included on this trip.

On Trek:
Trekking in the (Annapurna area) does not need tremendous logistics in accommodation as there are many clean and friendly Lodges along the trail. Rooms are basic, normally just a bed with a pillow and blankets but with a wonderful view from your window.  All the teahouses/lodges have a warm dining room-lounge. The rooms are fairly basic. The teahouse generally provides a blanket, but we will also provide a warm sleeping bag to everyone. Bathrooms are mostly shared, and toilets are squat type in most places. We will arrange for you and your group to stay in local lodges daily. Please remember that some of them are very basic, and a sense of adventure is necessary.

Your accommodation will be on fully tented camping during the climbing period. A tent will be provided between every 2 climbers. If in case of a single by default, then we will provide a single tent without any additional cost. 

Single supplement: 
Single supplement will be charged if someone wishes to have their own room in Kathmandu. Especially when travelling in a group, we will always pair you with someone of the same sex and similar age to share the room with. If in case of a single by default, then clients don’t have to pay for the single supplement. Please note that on the trek, a single supplement is not available due to limited rooms

Insurance

It’s mandatory and highly recommended to get travel insurance before embarking on any adventurous trips in Nepal. We advise all our clients to get travel insurance that covers up emergency helicopter evacuation that may be needed in case of the occurrence of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) or any other reasons in high altitudes where there are no other means of transportation available. It is advisable to review carefully the insurance and its coverages before making the final decision. Carry proof of your insurance with you on the holiday and leave a copy next to your kin. You must ensure that your insurance provides an adequate level of protection and covers you for the activities involved.
