Trip Overview

Pisang Peak Climbing is one of the most adventurous trekking peaks in Nepal’s Annapurna region. The first ascent of Pisang Peak was made by a German expedition team in 1955. The Pisang peak lies in the Manang district, and it is very beautiful.

This Pisang Peak Climbing starts at Besi Sahar and follows the Annapurna Circuit Trek trail till Pisang. Pisang Peak (6,091m/19,983ft) rises above Pisang village in a uniform slope of ice and snow up to the summit. From the village, your route ascends through lush woods and pastures until you reach a high camp. From Pisang High Camp, you’ll climb on the southwest ridge that leads to the final snow slope up to the summit. On your way back, the route heads down to Manang Valley, Thorung Phedi, and Jomsom.

Pisang’s summit offers you an unbeaten panoramic view of Annapurna peaks such as Annapurna II (7,937m/26,040ft), Annapurna III (7,555m/24,786ft), and Annapurna IV (7,525m/24,688ft). You’ll also see Gangapurna (7,455m/24,458ft), Glacier Dome, Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,794ft), Tilicho Peak (7.134m/23,405ft), and Manaslu (8,156m/26,758ft).

Customized itineraries with tailored travel and accommodation plans are also available upon request. Enjoy the peak climbing in Nepal with our expert climbing guides.

We also offer Pisang Peak Climbing as a climbing training program, led by our experienced climbing guide. Just to be sure that you climb the peak safely and return successfully.

 Verified My Everest Trip has helped me to achieve my EBC dream..
Trekking the EBC with My Everest Trip is one of my best hiking experiences. The initial contact with Puru, owner of the company, was smooth. He always gave me timely responses even though there are about 12 hours of time difference. Puru also made sure we were well taken care throughout the whole trip. He was at Kathmandu airport to pick us up, sent us to the hotel; He was on phone with different airlines to secure us a flight to Lukla when our flight had technical issues. After we were back in Kathmandu, he provided us with a private car to have a day tour of the city. During the trekking, our guide Shree, with his extensive experience on the trails, suggested us to hike counter-clockwise, which was the opposite of my original plan. I am so glad I took this advice and made our 12-day EBC-ChoLa Pass- Gokyo trekking a success. He also provided micro spikes and warm mittens for us. Without micro spikes we would not have crossed Cho-La Pass. I would highly recommend My Everest Trip to anyone who has the dream of hiking in the Himalayas.

 Verified EBC- Our most rewarding hiking trip
Our 12-day hiking experience to EBC couldn’t be enjoyable without the help of our guide Shree and porter Mitra. Shree’s experience on the trail gave us good advice to hike counter clockwise, Namche- EBC- Cho-la Pass- Gokyo-Namche. Even though we had a few days of bad weather, We never had any problems, but enjoyed spectacular views of the Himalaya mountains, valleys, and the ecosystem. we would highly recommend Shree and My Everest Trip for anybody that want to experience Mount Everest camp hike.

 Verified EBC Trek, absolutely incredible!!!
I can’t say enough incredible things about My Everest Trip, especially Puru (the owner) and Shree (my guide). From the very beginning, Puru was unbelievably responsive—patiently answering what must have felt like a billion questions and making me feel completely confident and prepared before even arriving in Nepal. Shree, my guide, was absolutely exceptional. I’m not the fastest trekker, but he never once made me feel rushed. He walked at my pace, constantly checked on how I was feeling, and took my health very seriously—making sure I stayed safe and avoided altitude sickness. His encouragement and positivity kept me going on the toughest days, and I truly don’t think I would have made it to Base Camp without him. What really sets this team apart is how far above and beyond they go. They helped customize my trip so I could spend a night at the iconic Everest View Hotel, which ended up being one of the highlights of the entire experience. They also handled all logistics seamlessly—securing the best tea houses and lounges along the route so I was always comfortable. Shree even helped me track down a tattoo studio in Namche, which turned out to be the highest tattoo studio in the world—such a unique and unforgettable addition to the journey! When weather delays impacted flights, they acted quickly and got me onto the second helicopter out—something that made all the difference in catching my return flight while others were stuck on the mountain. As a solo traveler, I always felt safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Puru and Shree made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, turning what could have been a daunting experience into something unforgettable. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and as someone who isn’t exactly in peak physical shape, I’m incredibly proud to have made it to Everest Base Camp—with huge thanks to their guidance, care, and encouragement. If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I wholeheartedly recommend My Everest Trip. You won’t find a more dedicated, thoughtful, and professional team.

 Verified Amazing Trip to EBC !
Our trip to EBC was amazing and an adventurous trip ! We were 4 hrs away from EBC and had to turn around due to a blizzard ( Snow storm ) and they had closed EBC due to amount of snow and risk. Since we had Shree with us, who was an absolute gentlemen, caring, and experienced, he guided us to a safe place. We walked down for 10 hrs in 3 feet of snow so that we can get rescued. I have to say that, without shree it wouldn't have been a great experience. I would highly recommend to hire Shree as your guide.

 Verified Unforgettable Adventure
My friend and I had the best time trekking to Everest Base Camp with our amazing local guide, Shree! We're from Alaska and fairly used to hiking, but found the expertise and assistance from My Everest Trip to be invaluable (we got a sleeping bag, trekking poles, a porter, and all of the details taken care of!) The real treat though was getting a glimpse of the Himalayan life from a local tour guide. From getting patient answers to many questions, introduced to local delicacies, to evening musical jam sessions in teahouses, this trip was an unforgettable adventure.

 Verified I recently completed a 14-day trek in the Himalayas , around Ama Dablam and Gokyo lake, and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Shree was professional, calm, positive and knew the route very well. He checked our health on the altitude, kept us organized, and made sure everything went smoothly. We had to change the route due to the weather and Shree was very flexible, suggested options to us which I appreciated very much . If you’re planning a trek, I definitely recommend him.

 Verified Thankyou Shree!🙏
Just wrapped up a 14-day trek in the Himalayas and it was absolutely unreal – thanks to our amazing guide Shree. He knew the mountains like the back of his hand, kept us safe, and made the whole trip feel easy (even when it wasn’t!). Super organised, always had a smile, and genuinely cared about the group and locals. He went above and beyond every day – from helping us with altitude to sharing laughs over a cuppa at night. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re thinking of doing a trek in the Himalayas – do it, and make sure you go with this legend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you had to pick one company to plan your EBC trek or really anything I would 100% pick this company, simply because of the owner. There was moments during my trip where I had concerns and the owner was always SO QUICK to reply and handle the problem in such a professional and simple manner. Knows how to communicate and reassure his clients like a natural born leader(he was also a guide for EBC before so he is extremely educated on trekking).

Thank you again for this amazing experience🙏🙏.

Pisang Peak Climbing Additional Information

Pisang Peak Climbing Cost

The 21-day Pisang Peak trek costs USD 2050. Since this is a month-long mountain climb in a very remote landscape, the cost of the Pisang peak climb is high. Thankfully, Pisang Nepal is just a practice peak with an actual climbing time of 2 days. Thus, the Pisang Peak trek cost is lower than that of other mountain climbing peaks like Everest Base Camp and Annapurna.

The $2050 includes the cost of the permit, accommodation, food, and guide/porter, i.e., everything you need during the climb. Even then, you will need about 500 dollars extra for personal expenses.

Pisang Peak permit

Pisang Nepal

When you land in Nepal, you first need to obtain a visa to Nepal. These visas can be given at the international airport for around $50. Indians traveling to Nepal don’t require a travel Visa, and the visa fee is accessible to people from SAARC countries. You will need three other permits for Pisang Peak climbing, along with a visa.

Annapurna Conservation Area permit

Pisang Peak is conserved within the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal’s largest conservation area. This permit can be issued in Kathmandu or at different entry points during your trek, for $30.

TIMS card

This is also issued from Kathmandu for $20. This card helps to keep a record of tourists in Nepal and is compulsory for all treks in the Annapurna region.

Pisang Peak Climbing Permit

Climbing Pisang Peak can only be done when you book your climb with a local travel agency and hire a licensed guide. This Pisang climbing permit costs $150 in Spring ( March to May), $125 in Autumn (September to November), and $70 in other months. You must submit a valid password, Pisang Peak Itinerary, and insurance details to get this Pisang Peak Climbing permit.

Accommodation in Pisang Peak Climbing

In the early days of the Pisang Peak climbing Itinerary, we followed the same route as the Annapurna Circuit trek, a famous tea house trek in Nepal. This means, up to Chame, i.e., the 7th day of the Pisang Trek, you will be staying in comfortable rooms in a small guest house managed by a local Tamang person.

Then you reach the upper region of Pisang, which is quite remote, with almost no human settlement. We stay in a camp from the 8th to the 13th day, i.e., from Pisang Base Camp to the summit. From the 14th day, when we join the trail to Manang, we shall again stay in the tea houses. The accommodation is pretty reasonable from Jomsom to Kathmandu, i.e., at the end of the track.

While we are staying at the tea house or hotels, you can choose any food you prefer from the menu provided to us. During the camp, the team prepares warm food using the materials you have brought. Since you will be traveling with a very experienced guide and porters of MyEverestTrip, there is no need to worry about food and accommodation. For water, you need to carry sterilizing tablets or bottles.

Pisang Peak difficulty

This won’t be easy if you are a newbie trekker with zero experience in high-altitude treks. Mountain climbing is never easy and demands high expertise and alertness. That being said, this is among the lowest altitude mountains that have to be climbed. So, if you are thinking about enhancing your mountain climbing skill and conquering higher mountains in the future, Pisang Peak can be a good starting point. Along with Pisang Peak, Thorang La at 5416 M is a significant challenge during this trek.

The path of Pisang Base Camp is relatively easy and has been used by millions of trekkers. The trail is steep from Pisang Peak Base camp to the high command with many tricky points. The Rocks and snow make this particular section of the trek very difficult. However, the most challenging path is from the Pisang Peak high camp to the Pisang Peak summit, where the guide sets the rope, and you must walk on the steep surface.

It will take about 10 hours to reach the Pisang Summit and return to the base camp on the same day. Climbing from Manang to Yak Kharkha and crossing Thorang La is also problematic, but by then, you will already have the experience of Mountain climb, which make it easier to cross the path. This is also the route for Annapurna Circuit Trek.

The highest risk factor during this Pisang Peak Nepal trek is its long-distance and very high altitude. At 6091M, air pressure is skinny, and you might need oxygen. The guide will provide you with oxygen in case of any symptoms of altitude sickness, but the cylinders are limited. Even then, if you develop headaches, vomiting, and shortness of breath, you might have to stop the climb and get back to the lower altitude. Helicopter evacuation will be arranged in case of emergency.

Where is Pisang Peak Nepal located?

Pisang Peak is located in the central north of Nepal, close to the famous Annapurna range. Situated further north of Manang, it lies between Annapurna I and Manaslu Circuit Trek. More than half of the route used for Pisang Peak is part of the Annapurna circuit trek itself.

What is the best season for the Pisang Peak expedition?

Without argument, spring, i.e. March to May, is the best time for mountain climbing in Nepal. Since all mountaineers around the World gather to conquer high-altitude mountains in Nepal, this is the busiest season on the hill. Autumn, i.e. September to November, can also be a good time with no chances of rainfall and snowfall. The weather in Autumn is relatively calm, but there might be more snow on the route. Due to regular snowfall and rain, trekking in monsoon and winter can be deadly. It’s not suggested.

What will happen if the weather is bad?

UpWe will stay in tea houses until the 7th day of the trip, so the bad weather doesn’t have much impact. However, to climb the Pisang peak, we must trek only in stable weather. If the weather becomes unpredictable, i.e., rainfall and snowfall, we might stay in base camp until the weather clears up. We take up to 2 days for the weather to clear up and ascent only when the safety of our climbers is ensured. The Porter of MyEverestTrip will carry enough food to feed us during the rest days.
