Pisang Peak Climbing

Pisang Peak Climbing is one of the popular trekking in Nepal.Pisang peak has a lot of scope for exploration and pioneering .Pisang peak is one of the Annapurna II .Pisang peak lies in between the giants Annapurna I and Makalu both eight thousand. From Pisang peak you can see rises from yak pastures above the village in a uniform slope to the final summit pyramid which is an indifferent snow and ice slopes. This peak climbing is considered as the convenient and easy climbing peak in Nepal. Looking at from the Ongre the peak is a little more interesting and can be seen as a curved, ridge with face above pisang peak being southern end of the mountain. This is made up of steeply titled rock, the dip slope of which faces the valley and is well in this peak and the great rock slabs further down the valley. The whole of the western flank, which is guarded by a hanging glacier, would appear to offer a considerable challenge, whilst a traverse of the whole summit ridge which connects to a more northern summit before curving back west looks a superb possibility.
To reach the base camp from the pisang village the path ascends through sparse wood and pasture to a Khaka at (4380 m) which is considered the best place for setting up the base camp. High camp is set up at 5400m climbing to a shoulder on the south west ridge. There will be snow at the high camp from the end of November to the end of March. This well defines ridge leads to the final snow, which is quite steep but not difficult to reach the summit.Descent is made on the same route. This peak climbing make very enjoyable and interesting for climbers.
