Pisang Peak is the most famous peak among the other trekking peaks in the Annapurna Region of Nepal. It is located on the way to the highest pass in the world and presents an excellent range for discovery. Pisang Peak has been considered a remarkable one since A German Expedition team made the first ascent of Pisang Peak in 1955, and it has been said that the western end of the ridge has massive rock slabs and is challenging to climb. Therefore, Pisang Peak climbing is considered one of the technical climbing peaks in Nepal. This peak rises above Pisang village and yak grazing lands in a uniform grade of ice and snow to the final apex pyramid. Trekkers with some experience in Climbing may unite the classic Annapurna Circuit Trek with Pisang Peak Climbing to get the excellent flavor of climbing in the Himalayas.
The trip starts from Beshi Sahar and treks following Annapurna Circuit routes and approaches Pisang in 4-5 days. The path passes through light wood and meadow to a Kharka (4380m). This is also the best place to set up the base camp. High camp is placed up at 5400m on the South-West point. The Summit of the peak presents genuinely amazing views of the Annapurna range along with Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV, Glacier Arena, and Gangapurna. It can also be said as Sightseeing Peak because of its genuinely splendid views. The snow could make walking a bit difficult to reach the Summit from the end of November to the end of March. After the completion of the Summit, we will trek further to Manang Valley and further up to Thorong Pedi, crossing the highest pass of the world, the Thorong La Pass (5416m) in the morning, and descent to Muktinath Temple, the holiest temple of Nepal. You will trek down to the Kagbeni (Get way to Upper Mustang or Lo-Manthang) and further to Jomsom; the capital city of Mustang district; from where you can fly Pokhara or drive through the rough road via the Kaligandaki River.

Nepal & Bhutan: Visiting Nepal and Bhutan at the same time is ideal as they share a similar climate. From high mountains to low land sub-tropical plains and jungles, the two countries have similar weather. The best time to visit is from March to April (spring) and October to December (autumn and early winter). During these months, the air is clean and fresh with sunny skies. January and February are colder months, while June, July, and August (summer) are typically monsoon seasons.
Tibet: It is best to visit Tibet between April and October when the weather is warm and the skies are clear. However, from November to March, it is still possible to explore certain areas like Namtso, Everest Base Camp, and Mount Kailash, as long as the roads are not blocked by snow. Temperatures during this time may be quite cold.
