Pisang Peak (6091m) is located in the Annapurna region. This peak was first climbed in 1955 by a German expedition. The High Camp is set up at 5400 meters, climbing the west ridge has huge rock slabs, the steep slope of ice and snow. which makes climbing difficult. You have to fix the rope. Before climbing the summit, there will be training. We learn techniques on how to use the crampon, the ice ax and climb the fixing rope. From the top of Pisang peak one can enjoy beautiful view of Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Tilicho, Gangapurna and other peaks.

After reaching the summit, we continue our trek towards the Manang valley, crossing the Thorong la pass (5416m), reaching Muktinath and Jomsom. We follow the Annapurna circuit route, from Dharapani to Pisang village and after summit also towards Manang valley.
