Nepal is the land of mountains and peaks where you can have abundant peak climbing activities or expeditions. Pisang Peak Climbing in Nepal via Peregrine Treks can be fascinating. We have designed the itinerary with the expert help of the company’s Sherpa Peak Climbers Guide, focusing on safety as well. The peak stands tall above the Pisang village and the green yak pastureland in an inclination of ice and snow to the pyramid summit. It is regarded as one of the most accessible climbing peaks among lots of trekking peaks in Nepal.
While reaching out to the base camp via Pisang Village, ascending the trail, we should pass sparsely placed woods and pasture. Kharka is situated at 4380m, the best place for climbers and trekkers to set their base camp. This accessible climbing peak’s high camp is at 5400m, which can be set once the climbers climb to the shoulder at the Southern West Ridge of Pisang Peak. The snow bulk will be there in High Camp in November and March. The steep snow slope in well-defined ridges takes to the final summit, which is not strenuous. Descending the peaks and mountains is considered more dangerous than climbing, but Pisang allows you to have a smooth descent from the same route.
We ensure that you are accompanied by a highly experienced guide when trekking. We provide one assistant guide for every five trekkers and assign one porter for every two members, guaranteeing personalized support throughout your journey.
For Pisang Peak climbing, we supply a certified, English-speaking climbing guide. An additional assistant guide will be assigned for every five climbers in larger groups. Your team will also include skilled cooks and necessary Sherpa support, who will primarily assist in setting up camps during your ascent.
This well-structured team arrangement prioritizes the safety and well-being of every participant. If any member falls ill, the expedition will continue as planned, with adequate measures in place. Our group size is limited to 12 members, an ideal number for a successful and well-coordinated adventure.

This remarkable ascent is ranked moderate in difficulty and entails a lengthy and arduous hike lasting between 7 to 9 hours in an isolated and secluded region. Although it may seem daunting to novice climbers, our knowledgeable and courteous guide will be present to offer valuable advice and techniques to help you conquer this majestic summit.
While previous experience in alpine climbing can be advantageous, it is not an absolute requirement. However, a certain level of physical fitness is essential, as climbing to the 5,400m high Camp and the 6,091m Pisang peak can be challenging. Still, it is reassuring to know that no technical maneuvers are necessary.
Suppose you possess the appropriate level of fitness, experience trekking at high altitudes, and a solid desire to summit your first Himalayan peak. In that case, this mountain is an ideal challenge for you.
Whether you are a novice or an experienced climber, Pisang Peak can be conquered throughout the year. However, to increase your chances of success and enjoy the best weather conditions, it is recommended that you plan your climb during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) seasons.
During these times, the climate is mild and stable, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures (0 to 17 degrees Celsius) throughout the day. This makes it easier to navigate the steep terrain and reach the summit without facing any extreme weather conditions. Moreover, the picturesque landscapes and beautiful views of the Himalayan range make the climb even more memorable and enjoyable.
Climbing Pisang Peak from December to February can be a rewarding experience if you are adequately equipped for the cold weather conditions. Despite the harsh conditions and snowfall at the high elevations of the base camp and the summit, the stunning views of the mountains are unparalleled during this time of year. Additionally, the reduced number of tourists in the winter season allows climbers to enjoy the beauty of the mountains without any distractions.
Likewise, exploring the trails during the monsoon and summer, spanning from June to August, can present a thrilling challenge for even the most experienced hiker. The incessant rainfall during this period renders the paths slippery and increases the risk of encountering leeches and cloudy days. However, this time can also be the perfect opportunity for adventurers seeking to conquer the majestic Pisang Peak. With the proper gear and preventive measures, hikers can bask in the breathtaking views of the surrounding natural beauty while experiencing an adrenaline-filled adventure.
Our tour is available throughout the year, and we ensure that the best safety measures are in place. Therefore, you can plan your trip any time of the year with complete peace of mind.
The Pisang Peak climbing itinerary takes Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) seriously, as it can be dangerous if you ascend to high altitudes too quickly. At higher elevations, the air contains significantly less oxygen, with levels dropping by 50% at altitudes above 5,000 meters compared to sea level. Proper acclimatization is crucial to adapting to these conditions, allowing your body time to adjust to the reduced oxygen environment.
Our Pisang Peak Climbing itinerary has been thoughtfully crafted by experienced travel specialists and seasoned guides to maximize your safety and comfort. It includes scheduled rest, acclimatization days, and pre-climbing training to prepare you for the summit. To reduce the risk of AMS, we advise staying well-hydrated and avoiding alcohol and tobacco.
Our guides carry a first-aid kit and a pulse oximeter to check your oxygen levels regularly throughout the climb. With over 20 years of experience, our guides have successfully led numerous climbers to Pisang Peak’s summit. They are trained in wilderness first aid and crisis management and ready to respond to any emergencies.
Should AMS symptoms arise, our assistant guide will follow strict safety protocols and escort you to a lower altitude. Your well-being is our top priority, and we are committed to providing a safe and unforgettable climbing experience.

Below is a comprehensive list of equipment we strongly recommend visitors bring along when planning a visit to Pisang peak.
NB: This equipment is available for rent at Thamel, Kathmandu, at affordable prices.
Before ascending to Pisang Peak, obtaining a travel insurance is essential. Ensuring that your travel insurance policy covers all the activities and elevations, you will experience on your journey is crucial.

I went on a sick adventure climbing Pisang Peak with Peregrine last year. I did my homework and researched the crap out of all the trekking companies. But Peregrine was the real deal. They took safety seriously and had a killer rep. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. From the moment we got to Camp to when we were crushing it at the summit and coming back down, the team took hella good care of us.
