Trip Overview:
Pisang Peak (6,091m) is one of the most popular trekking peaks in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Combining the climb of Pisang Peak with the classic Annapurna Circuit Trek and crossing the famous Thorong La Pass (5,416m) makes for an unforgettable Himalayan adventure.
The journey begins in the lush Marsyangdi Valley, passing through traditional Gurung and Manangi villages. As the trail ascends, you’ll witness dramatic changes in landscape — from green forests and terraced fields to alpine meadows and high-altitude deserts.
After acclimatizing in Upper Pisang and Manang, you’ll make your way to Pisang Peak Base Camp, where your climbing guide will provide pre-climb training. Once you summit Pisang Peak, you’ll continue your journey by trekking over Thorong La Pass, one of the highest trekking passes in the world, and descend to the sacred temple of Muktinath.
This adventure combines the thrill of mountaineering, the cultural richness of the Annapurna region, and the challenge of high-altitude trekking — all in one amazing package.
