Trip Overview

Pisang Peak climbing is the most popular peak among the trekking peaks in Nepal offering a good scope for exploration and peak climbing experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. Although Pisang Peak falls among one of the non-expedition peaks in Nepal, this peak is popular among climbers as one of the Adventure trekking peaks in Nepal. Pisang peak rises opposite of Annapurna II (7937) and lies in between the famous Mount Annapurna I and Mt. Manaslu. The Pisang peak climbing adventure can be combined with the world-famous Annapurna Circuit trekking.

Pisang Peak Climbers have to pass through the Pisang village and yak pastures with a uniform rise in the slope of ice and snow to the final summit of Pisang. Climbing the Pisang peak is an easy climbing adventure as this peak is one of the easiest climbing peaks in Nepal.

Pisang peak climbing offers close-up views of the Annapurna range (40 miles between the two river valleys contain twelve 7000 m peaks and many more above the 6000m marks).

  • Day 03
    Drive: Kathmandu / Bensisahar (2670m 8 hrs.)

  • Day 04
    Drive from Bensisahar to Chame (2670 m)

    Five hrs drive by jeep brings us to Chame.

  • Day 05
    Chame / Pisang (3300m / 6 hrs.)

    From Chame the trail condition changes, somewhat. The continuing trail is not as well maintained as the one up to Chame. Pass through pine forests, over fairly level ground, through the village of Taleku to Bhratang. Like all villages since Dharapani these predominantly Buddhist villages have an entrance chorten and an exit chorten.

    Pisang Annapurna II can be seen to the south and you are now behind the main Himalaya peaks in their rain shadow area. After crossing a series of wooden cantilever bridges you enter a spruce and fir forest that eventually gives way to a pine forest. After days in the gorge the forests provide a welcome change. Crossing the river to its left bank you reach your lodge at the village of Pisang. You may want to visit the village before dinner. Camp

    Continue to Manang (3540m / 5 hrs.)

    You are now in the dry arid region of Manang called Nye yang. Since this area falls in the rain shadow area of the Himalaya it seldom rains in the summer months, though it snows in the winter and the snow remains on the ground for a long time. The population is mostly farmers and traders though it is the men that do most of the trading. People in this area keep comparatively less domestic animals and the consumption of meat is very limited.

    Mananag

    There are two routes leading out of Pisang towards the Manang valley. The one you will follow stays to valley floor, on the left bank. Spectacular views of Annapurna III and IV along with Gangapuran and Tilicho peaks abound. This is possibly the best day for viewing mountains. You will pass through the village of Hongde where there is a STOL airfield servicing the Manang district. Camp

  • Day 12
    Manang / Letdar (4200m / 4 hrs.)

    Half an hour away from Braga, upstream and after a slight climb is the village of Manang, which lends its name to the whole district upward of Chame. Manang has a few shops where one can re-stock on supplies like chocolates, films and alkaline batteries - all, of course, for a price. Past Manang, the trail climbs steeply to the village of Tenki, which is the last permanent settlement, this side of the Thorung La. Climb a little further and then contour slowly past pastures to Yak Kharka (literally meaning Yak Pastures) at Letdar. Camp

  • Day 13

    Cross Thorung La (5416m / 6 hrs). Continue to Muktinath (3800m / 2 hrs.).

    Leaving the river valley you set out early in the morning provided the weath is good and it is not snowing. From Phedi ascend to a notch and turning left head for the Thorung La. A chain of rocks marks the pass, which might not be visible if there is snow. Beyond the pass you enter the river valley of the Kali Gandaki River. The descent from the pass to Muktinath is steep but not difficult.

    MuktinathMuktinath is a sacred pilgrimage site to both Hindus and Buddhists who flock there annually for their respective festivals. A rest day here allows you the opportunity to explore the area and the ancient shrines. Of particular interest is the temple of the Hindu God Vishnu and the one hundred and eight waterspouts where devotees bathe. From Muktinath there are beautiful views of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m). Camp

ALTITUDE ACCLIMATIZATION

To get the most from your trek, and to stay safe, it is important to follow acclimatization guidelines. At Makalu Adventure, whenever possible, we follow the acclimatization formula set out by Drs Jim Duff and Peter Gormly; experts in Wilderness Medicine. "Above 2000m, altitude illness is a possibility and above 2500m it becomes common".
"As a rough guide, above 2500m the maximum daily height gain between sleeping altitudes should not exceed 400m, with a rest day every third day or after every 1000m of sleeping ascent".
"Avoid overexertion and breathlessness while acclimatizing, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, salt and protein, your diet should be 70% carbohydrate above 3500m".

    Wonderful experience of World's Highest Mountain Mt. Everest (8848.86 m) climbing

    My name is Gabriella Nicola Nel, I just submitted Mount Everest with Makalu Adventure. It was an incredible experience; we did have some hiccups in terms of getting frostbite on the way down from the summit and I'd just like to thank Mohan and the Makalu Adventure team for organizing a long long rescue from Camp 3 which is extremely difficult and I believe that the company saved my life with a successful Summit. As well for the season which was a very dangerous season I'd just like to thank everyone from Makalu Adventure.

    Excellent service and a welcome by Makalu Adventure

    I've known and worked with Mohan and Makalu Adventure for nearly 15 years. In that time I've led many treks and high altitude expeditions to Nepal (15 expeditions over 8000m and counting). His company provides an excellent service and a welcome that I look forward to every season. The Thamel Eco Resort is a center of tranquility in Kathmandu and the perfect place to start and finish the Himalayan Adventure. The staffs are now like family and I hope to return for many years with the guarantee of safety and security that he offers in the mountains.
