  Pisang Peak Climb   Description  The Pisang peaks in the Manang Himal range offer a good scope for exploration. The Pisang peak is the most popular among the trekking peaks in the Annapurna region. The peak rises up from Pisang village and yak pastures, in a uniform slope of ice and snow to the final summit pyramid. The western flank of Pisang peak is guarded by a hanging glacier and offers a considerable challenge, while the western end of the ridge is guarded by huge rock slabs, which are difficult to climb. 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 numerous other peaks.
