| Pisang
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 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 4,380 meters (14,366ft) which is considered
the best place for setting up the base camp. High Camp
is set up at 5,400 meters (17,715ft) 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.
