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 (4,380m) which is considered the best place
for setting up the base camp. High Camp is set up at
5,400m climbing to a shoulder on the SouthWest 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.
