PISANG
PEAK (6091
m.)
This Peak rises
above the Pisang village and yak pastures
in a uniform slope of ice and snow
to the final summit pyramid. Pisang
peak is considered one of the easy
climbing peaks among the trekking
peaks in Nepal. To reach the base
camp from Pisang village, the path
ascends through sparse wood and pasture
to a Kharka at 4,380m which is considered
the best place for setting up the
base camp. High Camp is set up at
5,400m climbing to a shoulder on the
South-West Ridge. There will be snow
at the high camp from the end of November
to the end of March. The well defined
ridge leads to the final snow slop
which is quite steep but not difficult
to reach the summit. Descent is made
on the same route.
