Comprehensive Trek Guide
Pisang Peak is a well-known and easy peak for climbing located opposite to Annapurna II (7,937m) with an altitude 6,091m above the sea level. This peak climbing experience leads us to cross through the Thorang La Pass, which is the highest pass in the world. From the summit of Pisang peak, we can see the amazing views of different mountains including Mt. Manaslu (8,163m), Mt. Annapurna II (7,937m), Mt. Annapurna III (7,555M), Mt. Annapurna IV (7,525m), Gangapurna (7,455m), and Tilicho Peak (7,134m).
Pisang Peak Climbing is named after the Pisang Village which we cross during the trek. During this trip intended for Pisang peak climbing, we visit Muktinath Temple (important religious place) and trek to the beautiful Manang region. We also go through the Jomsom which makes our Pisang peak climbing trek more delightful.
