| Pisang
Peak Trek and Climb (6091 m)
Pisang Peak is located north of Pokhara,
in the north Annapurna area. On easy trails and suspension
bridges, through rice terraces and forest, the approach follows
the world famous Annapurna Circuit itinerary, through a wonderful
variety of landscape and culture, from the subtropical lower
Marsyangdi valley where Gurung and Thakali dominate to the
northern arid Buddhist area. The Pisang - Manang region lies
in a rain shadow formed by the Annapurnas and the landscape
supports little in the way of forest apart from pine, juniper
and scrub rhododendron. Huge glacial moraines abound, etched
deeply by wind erosion into fantastic pillars. Pisang Peak
offers spectacular climbing, directly opposite the Annapurnas,
and ranks amongst the finest of Nepal's trekking peaks. The
ascent starts in Pisang and includes little technical climbing
(Grade Alpine PD) along a well-defined
ridge, which leads to the final steep snow slope, with breath-taking
views of Lamjung Himal and Annapurna II and IV. We complete
this fantastic adventure by crossing the Thorong La (5415
m) to Jomosom. From there we can either fly to Pokhara or
walk along the Khali Gandaki river.
