Pisang Peak Climbing

Pisang Peak Climbing – A Beginner-Friendly Himalayan Adventure

Pisang Peak Climbing ; Pisang Peak (6,091m) is one of Nepal’s most accessible trekking peaks, making it an excellent choice for aspiring climbers and trekkers eager to experience mountaineering above 6,000 meters.

Why Climb Pisang Peak?
