Well, Pisang Peak Climbing in the western region of Nepal offers you an opportunity to make your story a memorable one. Exploring the ancient culture, traditions, history, art, and lifestyle of Manang is the reward of Pisang Peak.

This 17-day trip starts on your arrival in the capital city Kathmandu of the Himalayan country Nepal. With the drive to Jagat from Kathmandu, you begin the trek by passing through the forests of pine and rhododendron. You pass the market towns of Dharapani and headquarters of Manang district Chame before reaching the spectacular village of Upper Pisang. Along the way, you will be greeted with spectacular views of the soaring Annapurna and green forests that thrive in wildlife. Spend a day in upper Pisang to learn about the prevailing culture and traditions in these silent parts. From Upper Pisang, you climb the summit of the Pisang peak by making camp stays at Pisang peak base camp and High camp. You will learn the proper usage of trekking equipment in the base camp. The breathtaking view from the summit of Pisang Peak is worth all the tired muscles and hardships of the trek. Descending from the summit, you move towards the base camp and from there, you head to Manang. The views of Tilicho Lake and the Annapurna mountain ranges is simply staggering.

With the warm hospitality of Manang valley, you head towards the mighty pass of Thorung La through the settlement of Ledar, Thorung Phedi, and Thorung High camp. The world beyond Thorung La is Mustang district, which holds the revered pilgrimage site of Muktinath. Spend the day by praying in the temple premises and learning the culture involved in Muktinath.
