Pisang Peak Climbing With Annapurna Circuit Trek In Nepal Overview
Pisang Peak in Nepal is one of the easier peaks to climb in Nepal lies in the Annapurna region. The Pisang Peak elevation lies at an altitude of 6,092m and lies above the village of Pisang hence its name. This peak in the Annapurna region of Nepal is in the shape of a pyramid which makes it quite an impressive figure of a mountain peak. However, because of its structure, the climb can be a bit difficult and technical. The summit of this mountain peak in Nepal offers amazing views of the Annapurna ranges. Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Nilgiri (7,061m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna II (7,937m), Tilicho Peak (7,135m), Annapurna III (7,555m), Ganggapurna (7,454m), Chulu (6,584m), Fishtail (6,997m), Mardi Himal (5,553m), and Mt. Manaslu (8,156m) are some of the mountain ranges that can be witnessed during this expedition in Nepal.
The Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal has been liked by many and has been very popular among trekkers around the world since its opening in 1977. The trek begins from Besishahar and goes along the trails of Marshyangdi River accompanied by the amazing views of the Himalayan ranges of Nepal. This trekking circuit in Nepal is famous for its beautiful landscapes, valleys, and cultural diversities scattered all over the region. As we trek along we'll get to experience the diverse geography of lush valleys surrounded with forest and the desert albeit valley of the Tibetan plateau as we gradually move upwards.
The main highlight of this travel package in Nepal is reaching the summit of Pisang Peak. The climb might be demanding and challenging but overcoming this challenge and the fruit of your labor that you get to see from the top of the summit is truly remarkable. Climbing Pisang Peak and reaching its summit, however, is not what makes this mountain climbing in Nepal special but rather the whole process that one can experience. Staying in a tent at a high altitude, eating self-cooked food, sharing stories underneath the starry skies enjoying the view of the Milky Way is what makes this trek in Nepal one to remember. The climb is long and hard which will take from 8 to 12 hours depending upon the situation. It is important that you need to be physically prepared and have some climbing techniques at hand. Prior climbing experience might make it even easier for you. The best season for Pisang Peak climbing is during the Spring (Mar-June) and Fall (Sept-Nov) seasons.
notes
It is highly recommended that you arrive in Kathmandu a day prior to your journey towards the Annapurna Circuit and Pisang Peak summit in case you don’t have a day tour of Kathmandu scheduled. You will have a day to rest, buy some travel essentials and equipment. It is also best to have some extra days in your travel schedule after the completion of the trek.

Nepal is such a beautiful place to visit, and I feel truly lucky to have explored its culture and landscapes. Climbing Pisang Peak was tough, but we made it!
A huge thanks to the hardworking guides and porters who stayed with us every step of the way we couldn’t have done it without them. Also, big appreciation to CoreTreks for helping us choose the right package without pushing us into anything extra. Great company, lovely team. Highly recommended!

A Difficult One
I’m not going to lie, this trek was tough. We had to hike through rough trails and walk about 7 hours each day. But we made it to the top, and it felt great. I really appreciate all the effort the CoreTreks team put into helping us. Big thanks to everyone.
This is a trekking company I’d definitely recommend in Nepal. They helped us with bookings and gave us a fair price. The trip was hard, but it was worth it.

I feel proud and inspired. Big thanks to CoreTreks for planning everything so well and helping us through the whole journey. Respect to the guides and porters they worked so hard. I’m already planning to come back later this year for another trek.
