| Area:
Manang Valley in the Annapurna Area
 Pisang
Peak rises above from Pisang village and yak pastures
in a uniform slope of ice and snow to the final summit
pyramid. Pisang peak is considered one of the easy climbing
peaks among the trekking peaks in Nepal. To reach the
base camp from Pisang village, the path ascends through
sparse wood and pasture to a Kharka at 4,380 meters
(14,366ft) which is considered the best place for setting
up the base camp. High Camp is set up at 5,400 meters
(17,715ft) 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. The well defined
ridge leads to the final snow slop which is quite steep
but not difficult to reach the summit. Descent is made
on the same route.
