Situated on the northeastern side of the Annapurna region in Nepal, Pisang Peak (6,091 m/19,984 ft), also known as Jong Ri, was first successfully summited by a German expedition team in 1955.

With its symmetrical terrain, Pisang Peak is known as a 'trekkers peak' that provides one of the easiest and shortest climbing experiences in the Himalayas.

The journey commences with a drive from Kathmandu to Chamje, followed by a trek to Upper Pisang Village. From the base camp, the trek continues to the high camp before reaching the Pisang Peak summit, which marks the climax of the journey. The descent follows the same route, and the trip concludes with a drive from Chame back to Kathmandu.

On the way, you can see breathtaking views of many towering mountains, including Tilicho Peak (7,134 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Fishtail (6,993 m), Annapurna (8,091 m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m), Mt. Annapurna II (7,555 m), Mt. Annapurna IV (7,525 m), and Gangapurna (7,455 m). Are you a thrill-seeker looking to push your limits?

The Annapurna circuit trek

After summiting Pisang Peak, you will return to the base camp by day 11 and embark on an unforgettable trek to Thorong La Pass and beyond. The trail descends from the base camp to Pisang village, and continues to Manang village and ascends to Letdar via Yak Kharka via Tenki village.

Pisang peak climbing route

Starting from the base camp, the Pisang Peak climb is a thrilling and demanding experience that requires a good level of physical fitness and basic climbing skills. As you begin your ascent, the trail gradually turns into a rocky terrain that will put your climbing abilities to the test. Following a well-marked path, you will reach the Pisang Peak High Camp.

The climb from the base camp to the High Camp is a strenuous endeavor, requiring a slow and steady pace to acclimatize to the high altitude. As you move higher, you will need to use fixed ropes to scale the steep and snowy slopes. The final stretch of the climb becomes extremely vertical, with minimal snow cover.

Pisang peak climbing with Annapurna circuit trek distance and terrain

Our Pisang peak climbing itinerary also includes the legendary Annapurna circuit trail. The journey covers a distance of approximately 160-230 kilometers (100-145 miles). After climbing Pisang Peak, you will be trekking for another six days at high altitude to navigate the Thorong La pass and descend to Jomsom, where the journey ends.

The terrain is varied and presents its own set of challenges. The trek begins in the lowlands and follows the Marsyangdi River, passing through lush subtropical forests, rice paddies, and quaint traditional villages. As the trek ascends, the terrain becomes more rugged and rocky, with steep ascents and descents, and the climate turns colder and drier.

        Useful Information

        What is the best time to do Pisang peak climbing?

        The best time to climb Pisang Peak is during the Spring and Autumn seasons, which fall between March to May and September to November, respectively. These months are considered the peak trekking and climbing seasons in Nepal due to favorable weather conditions and clear skies, making it easier to climb and enjoy the stunning views of the Himalayan range.

        During Spring season, the weather is mild with clear skies and plenty of sunshine, making it the perfect time to Annapurna circuit trek and climb Pisang Peak. The temperature during the daytime ranges between 10 to 15 degrees celsius, making it comfortable for trekking, while at night the temperature drops to around -5 to -10 degrees Celsius.

        Autumn is another great season for Pisang peak climbing. The weather is stable with clear blue skies, and the days are warm with cool nights. The temperatures during the day range from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, while at night, it drops to around 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. The weather is perfect for climbing, and the views of the mountains are stunning.

        Pisang peak climbing difficulty

        Pisang peak climbing requires a good level of physical fitness and endurance, as it involves steep ascents and descents, rocky terrain, and high altitude. Altitude sickness is also a common challenge faced by travelers during the venture.

        The route towards Pisang Peak can also be difficult, especially for novice climbers. The trail is not well-defined, and climbers need to cross glaciers, moraines, and rocky terrain to reach the summit. Apart from the physical challenges, weather and temperature can also pose a challenge during the climb. The weather can be unpredictable, with sudden changes in temperature and an occasional snowfall.

        Travel Insurance

        Travel insurance is mandatory for anyone planning to climb Pisang Peak. The insurance policy should cover you for emergencies like accidents, altitude sickness, and helicopter rescue charges if required.

        Altitude sickness is a common issue faced by climbers during the ascent toward the peak. It can cause severe health issues and even be life-threatening if not treated properly. Therefore, get an insurance policy that covers the cost of medical treatment in case of altitude sickness.

        In addition, unpredictable weather and challenging terrain can also pose a risk to climbers. Accidents and injuries can happen, and having travel insurance that covers emergency medical evacuation and hospitalization can be a lifesaver.

        Moreover, Pisang Peak is located in a remote region of Nepal, and helicopter rescue may be required in case of a medical emergency. The cost of such rescue operations can be expensive, and having an insurance policy that covers the cost can provide peace of mind.

        Passport & Travel Visa

        To climb Pisang Peak, you will need a valid passport and a travel visa for Nepal. Firstly, you will need a valid passport that is not expired and has at least six months of validity from the date of your entry into Nepal. Make sure that you have at least two blank pages in your passport for entry stamps and visas.

        Tourist visas for Nepal can be obtained on arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or any land border crossing. To obtain a visa, you will need to fill out a visa application form and provide a passport-sized photograph.

        You will also need to pay the visa fee in USD or other major currencies. The fee for a 15-day multiple-entry visa is USD 30, a 30-day multiple-entry visa is USD 50, and a 90-day multiple-entry visa is USD 125.

Therefore, travel insurance is mandatory for all climbers participating in climbing. All members must provide a copy of their comprehensive travel insurance policy certificate before embarking on the climb. The policy must cover medical and emergency repatriation, including helicopter rescue and evacuation expenses.
        • Passport & Visa: Foreigners, excluding Indian nationals, must have a valid visa to enter Nepal. On-arrival visas are available at Tribhuvan International Airport and entry and exit points along the Nepal border.

Visas for children under ten are free, while citizens of China and SAARC countries receive free visas.

        • ATM & Money Exchange: In Thamel, you can exchange most foreign currencies through local banks and legitimate money exchanges. The ongoing exchange rates are prominently displayed. There are no ATMs available on the Pisang Peak climbing route, so carry enough cash for the journey.
        • Charging: Most tea houses along the route have either electricity or solar power, making it easier to charge devices and stay connected with loved ones back home. Do note that tea houses typically charge a small fee for device charging, and a fully charged device can cost roughly 2/3 dollar in local currency. To avoid overpaying for charging services, you can carry a power bank or a solar charger during the climb.
        • Internet: When climbing Pisang Peak, access to communication and internet services can be a challenge. However, certain villages and tea houses along the way, such as Pisang, Manang, and Chame, offer internet connectivity to climbers.

So, make sure to have an additional budget for these expenses.
        • Tips: At the end of the climb, it's customary to give tips to the guide and porter as a gesture of appreciation for their hard work and dedication. As our Pisang Peak climbing package does not cover tips for guides and porters, you are free to tip them as you wish.
