صعود به قله پیسانگ

After breakfast in Kathmandu, we shall all hop into a private vehicle that takes us around. Firstly, we will visit the beautiful Swayambhunath at the city’s top. After the clear views of the entire Kathmandu city, it’s time to roam around the places such as Pashupatinath, Bouddhanath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. From Kathmandu Durbar Square, we will probably return to Thamel to prepare for the trip.

The guide helps you get the permit and shop/ rent trekking gear around the Thamel. If we have some time, we might have a small training or discussion session for Pisang Nepal.

Note: If there are some issues in getting the permit, we shall stay in Kathmandu for one more day.

The Pisang peak climb tour begins after we dive from Kathmandu to Besisahar. Besisahar is the Lamjung district’s headquarters, 175 km from the capital. As per the group size, we shall ride in a tourist bus to a public jeep along the bank of the Trishuli highway. And we reach Besisahar within 7-8 hours of the trip. This is the starting point of the Annapurna Circuit Trek.

The views of the landscapes, along with stunning forests, keep us occupied while we reach Besisahar. After enjoying our dinner, we stay in a comfortable hotel at Besisahar.

After the warm breakfast, we leave Besisahar and start heading north. Hiking through many suspension bridges and waterfalls, we shall reach Bahundanda in 5-6 hours. Accompanied by many uphill and downhill treks, you will be enjoying this initial part of the trek. By evening, we reach Bahundanda, which means the village of Bahuns. And this is probably the only time you will stay with the Bahun ethnic group. So, explore the culture and lifestyle of villages while staying in the local tea houses.

In less than an hour, we reach the Marshyangdi river, where we refresh ourselves with the cold water. Then, we hike to Jagat, which is mostly uphill. After lunch in Jagat, we walk for another two hours to Chamje. The local Tamang people will serve the gratifying dinner in a tea house at Chamje.

This lower section is full of Rhododendron and Bamboo. Walking to Tal, we can see some fields of barley and potatoes. Savouring these destination specialities, we shall again cross the river and hike to Dharapani.

It’s among the most challenging trekking day as we start gaining a lot of altitudes. You hike through the dense pine tree forest from Chame to Upper Pisang. At Paungda Danda, you witness the rock with a dramatic curve. Now, with the incredible views of the منطقه آناپورنا, we hike to the Upper Pisang Settlement.

The further climb demands a lot of strength. And we shall gather that with an additional day in Pisang. Upper Pisang, at 3700 meters, is a perfect place for acclimatization with the views of the Annapurna range and Gangapurna.

In the morning and evening, we shall learn some climbing skills from our expert guide of MyEverestTrip. We can take short detours around Pisang to view Tilicho lake in the daytime. We are back at the same tea house/ camp for the night.

The actual climb only starts now, and you shall know how strenuous mountain climbs can be. From Pisang, it’s a steep ascend with a hefty altitude gain while we reach the base camp. With the falling rocks, the trekking trails will be rough, and the forest will become sparse. By evening, we reach Pisang Peak Base at 4380 meters.

Here, we find pasture land at Kharka to set our camps. You shall already have kitchen staff and utensils for the dinner and tents to live in the Camp.

Pisang Peak High Camp is only 4-5 hours from the Base Camp. Before leaving, ensure your climbing gear and equipment are in good condition. Although it’s a short walk, the rough terrain and uneven rocks make it a tricky climb. We shall each Pisang Peak High Camp quite early in the day and set camps for the night. The staff will prepare warm food even at such an altitude. Then, we shall start preparing for the summit the next day. The guides will set the ropes to make it easier for you if needed.

Finally, the most important day. We start the climb from the high Camp quite early. Walking on the steep snow slopes needs some good technical climbing skills. Ensure you follow the instructions of the guide who helps you with every step of the Pisang Peak Climb. We start the hike before sunrise, and with the guidance of Sherpas on the technical portions, we shall conquer Pisang peak quite early in the morning.

At the top, the view of the glorious mountains, including Annapurna, will take away all your pain. You can leave some marks on the top and take all the beautiful photos before returning to base camp. Before that, we stop at the high Camp to collect our utensils and tents. We shall set up the tent at the base camp and celebrate the success.

They retrace the same beautiful route from Pisang Base Camp to the valley in Manang. After 5-6 hours, we reached Manang village and spent our night in a local hotel after a long time.

Prepare for an exciting day in the mountains as we journey to Thorang Phedi. While many people cross Thorang La Pass on the same day, we take things slowly. We walk for a couple of hours to Thorang Phedi in the morning. If the situation is favourable, we will hike to the High Camp on the same day. Here, we stay at 4800m, the highest accommodation point of the Annapurna Circuit trek.

This is the longest and most challenging part of our walk. However, since we are already in High Camp, we save ourselves from much pain. The team wakes you up quite early, i.e. 4 to 5 am. Then, we take our packed lunch and climb the Thorang Pass. After 3-4 hours, we reach the hilltop with the most beautiful view of the mountains. Filled with colourful flags, it’s an excellent place for a photo session. After a short stop, we start walking down to Muktinath and Jomsom.
