Pisang peak (6091m) along the northern stretch of the
Annapurna round. Ice axe, crampons and previous high
altitude climbing experience are required before you
undertaken this challenging, but non-technical

Trekking up the Marsyangdi valley gives you five days to
acclimate before arriving at Pisang peak base camp.4

adventures lie ahead as you cross Thorong-La (17,700ft.)

effort at high altitude. Although this trek is scheduled
