Pisang Peak stands at an elevation of 6,091 m up above from Pisang village in Annapurna Himalaya range and yak pastures in a uniform slope of ice and snow to the final summit pyramid. Pisang peak is viewed as one of the bustling climbing tops among the trekking tops in Nepal. To achieve the base camp from Pisang village, the way climbs through sparse wood and field to a Kharka at 4,420 m, which is viewed as the best place for setting up the base camp. High Camp is set up at 5,450 m, moving 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 slope, which is quite steep but not difficult to reach the summit. Descent is made on the similar route.
After the main adventure of Pisang Peak, the trek leads to Thorong La pass (5,416 m), through Manang, which are the main attraction of whole Annapurna Circuit Trek. Due to the difficulties of crossing the pass, the circuit is usually walked in a counterclockwise direction.
After you cross the Thorong La pass the trail take you to the Muktinath then Jomsom from where we can take flights to Pokhara.
