![]() 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."
