Pisang Peak Climbing – Trip Overview:

When climbing to the top of Pisang Peak, you can admire the breathtaking views of the mountains and the Manang Valley. If you are looking to climb the peak in Annapurna, Nepal, the Pisang Summit is the most expedition in a particular area of Nepal. Pisang is a pyramidal peak that is distributed evenly over the yak grass and the village of Pisang. The steep peaks of ice rock are very technical. However, it offers the best views of Annapurna, Tilicho, Gangapurna and other glaciers in the area, as well as the isolated Manang valley. In a certain sense, the climbing trip is spiritual, we will find a variety of monasteries, pagodas and pagodas, and the most important thing is to go to Muktinath on the way.

If you want to experience the original attraction of the mountains by climbing the peaks, learn to manage the crests and the fixed ropes while crossing the rocky face of Pisang Peak. While climbing is challenging and demanding, the same is true for the spectacular views that you see when you reach the top. This is a reward for your hard work. The climbing peak is not limited to the climbing peaks; it is an experience that allows you to enjoy buffet food in a tent. Your climbing trip depends on the weather and can vary from 8 to 12 hours. To climb the Pisang Mountain, you must be healthy and pay attention to the few climbing techniques.

Can I accomplish this trek?

Though Pinang Peak climbing is technical and more challenging you still need more stamina, however having some knowledge on using climbing equipments will still be an asset. There will also be a pre -ice climbing training for participants in the   Pisang Peak. The training will mostly be about using climbing gears such as ropes, ice pick, harness, crampons.

Himalayan Adventure Nepal advice   you to prepare yourself by jogging 12 km every day for around 3 months before  you start your trip.
