OVERVIEW
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.
