Tour Highlights
Pisang Peak (Jong Ri), a high height of 6,091 meters, is a tremendous trekking peak in Nepal's Manang Valley through the renowned Annapurna Circuit. The journey at the great Pisang Peak starts at the great Besishahar, following through the ever-flowing Marshyangdi River Valley and delicate terrains. The trail leads at the Dharapani before reaching the fine Pisang village at the great mountain's base. From here, the ascent at the excellent base camp through the Kharka (4,380 meters) takes trekkers all through fine cleared woods and grassy-filled pastures, offering a great spot for going to the camp. This climb helps adventurers and trekkers with breathtaking scenes of tall peaks such as Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters), Mt. Manaslu (8,163 meters), and Mt. Annapurna (8,091 meters through the dozens of other snow-clad summits through the great Annapurna region.
The move down from Pisang Peak is equally impressive and one to watch out for, as the route passes through the sacred site of the Muktinath, an important pilgrimage destination for the great Nepalese Hindus and Buddhists. Trekkers all cross the Thorong La Pass, the world's highest mountain pass, offering unparalleled scenic views of the majestic Himalayas. The final leg of this adventure takes you to the Jomsom, a vibrant town where the trek concludes with a fine scenic flight to Pokhara. A drive back to Kathmandu finishes this incredible journey from there, mixing thrilling climbs, spiritual encounters, and cultural immersion in one immemorial experience.

What Is Included?
Good To Know
Insurance
It is mandatory to have good travel insurance or emergency evacuation insurance which will cover evacuation by any means of transportation from high altitude. It is also highly recommended that all member have cancellation insurance in case of an accident prior to departure, or if the trip is canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.
Fitness & Experiences
Prior to the trek, we suggest physical activities such as running, swimming and cycling combined with climbs to smaller peaks which includes climbs that involve travel on crampons under all sorts of conditions. Be sure you are comfortable with extreme exposure and steep drop-offs for long periods of time and capable of carrying the heavy pack of an average of 30lbs. Be familiar with jumars, ascenders, crampons, all your gear, and knot.
Food
The more food you eat at altitude the better you´ll perform. Considering the loss of appetite on a higher altitude, Sherpa Shepherds guide will help you to choose food items that have quality and easiest to digest at higher-altitude during the trekking and accommodation in the lodges. However, at base camp, our expedition cook will be set the best menu. We suggest you bring your own food if you so desire such as chocolate bars, dry foods, etc. We cater to different dietary requirements and full vegetarian menus can be provided on request.
Accommodation
In Kathmandu, you will stay at star deluxe hotels and while you’re on trek your accommodation will be in local lodges/guesthouses. You should therefore not expect the standards that can be achieved in luxury accommodation in the city. All accommodation is arranged on a twin sharing basis during the trekking and local lodges won’t be of course as like in hotels in Kathmandu.
Emergency Rescue
In case of any high altitude sickness problems normally as a primary precaution first it is advised to come down immediately to a lower altitude for some rest and in the inferior condition, you have to further come down either by airplane or by land transportation.
Weather Forecast
For the climbing weather report, we advise you to use from Meteo Swiss or from Austria or we can help you to get in contact with them. For the prompt weather, Forecast sends to you by SMS or email or on phone to prepare your summit.
