PISANG PEAK (6091m.)
One of the best trekking peaks in
Annapurna Region
Pisang peak (6091m/19981ft) has great
scope for exploration. The western flank
of the mountain, which is guarded by a
hanging glacier, offers considerable
challenge. However access to the western
end of the ridge is more problematic yes
it is guarded by huge rock slabs. The
first ascent on Pisang was made in 1955
by a German Expedition. The same
Expedition then went on to make an
ascent on Chulu east. From above Hungre
the peak looks much more interesting. It
looks more like a curved ridge, with the
face above Pisang being the truncated
southern end on the valley. The route
through the upper Pisang valley leads
through sparse woods and pastures to a
Kharka, which provide a good Base-camp
site. The high trail here, which reaches
upper Pisang (3300m) though longer, is
panoramic. It offers truly splendid
views of the Annapurna group including
Tilicho Peak, Annapurna II and IV,
Ghangapurna and the Glacier Dome. Pisang
is indeed a "sightseeing peak." |
