The Pisang peak in the Annapurna Himalayan range offer you good scope for exploration. The western flank of Pisang Peak is guarded by a hanging glacier and offers a considerable Challenge, while huge rock slabs, which are difficult to climb, guard the western end of the ridge. A German Expedition made the first ascent in 1955. With its distinguished snow and ice pyramid shape, the mountain is considered one of the most impressive and beautiful peaks in the area. We will climb Pisang by following a steep and well-defined ridge to the summit from the south-east side. From the top there are impressive views of Annapurna II & III, Manaslu, Gongapurna as well as numerous other peaks.

The well-defined ridge leads to the final snow slop, which is quite steep and little difficult to reach the summit. Summit of the peak offers truly splendid views of the Annapurna group including Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV, Gongapurna and the Glacier Dome. The 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 indeed a "sightseeing peak. Descent is made on the same route. After a successful summit, we continue our trek to Manang valley and continue further up to Thorong Pedi. We will cross a highest pass of the world, Thorong pass at early morning and will arrive Muktinath, another part of the Annapurna.

Climate:

Nepal has a generally temperate climate, however altitude makes distinct variations.

The monsoon sweeps up from India each summer, making mid June to mid September humid and wet. The three other distinct seasons are all suitable for trekking and each has its own advantages. Changing global weather patterns have had their effect on the Himalayan climate making mountain weather notoriously changeable. Always be prepared for a change in conditions and note that if severe or dangerous weather conditions occur your guide’s decision on any course of action is final.

Autumn (September – November): This season offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain views.

Winter (December – February): This season is noted for occasional snowfall only at higher elevation. Hence it is ideal for trekking at lower elevations, generally below 3000 meters.

Spring (March – May): Different varieties of wild flowers, specially the rhododendrons make the hillside above 5000 meters a haunting paradise during this season. It is mildly warm at lower elevations and at higher elevation over 4000 meters the mountain views are excellent and temperature is quite moderate.
