Pisang Peak (6091m) has great scope
for exploration. The western flank of the mountain,
which is guarded by a hanging glacier, offers
considerable challenge. However access to the western
end of the ridge is more problematic yes it is guarded
by huge rock slabs. The first ascent on Pisang was made
in 1955 by a German Expedition. The same Expedition then
went on to make an ascent on Chulu east. From above
Hungre the peak looks much more interesting. It looks
more like a curved ridge, with the face above Pisang
being the truncated southern end on the valley. The
route through the upper Pisang valley leads through
sparse woods and pastures to a Kharka, which provide a
good Base-camp site. The high trail here, which reaches
upper Pisang (3300m) though longer, is panoramic. It
offers truly splendid views of the Annapurna group
including Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV, Ghangapurna
and the Glacier Dome. Pisang is indeed a "sightseeing
peak."

Detail Itinerary
Equipments checklists -
climbing trips
In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Daypacks for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.
Equipment Rental
In order to minimize your expense outlay for
trekking and climbing equipment you may never
use again, we offer a wide range of equipment
available for rent for the duration of your
trip. All rental equipment can be picked up from
your trip leader upon arrival for your trip
