Welcome to Nepal! Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, a representative from Hidden Path Treks & Expeditions will greet you and transfer you to your hotel. After check-in, you'll have time to rest and recover from your journey. Later, you'll meet your guide for a trip briefing and final gear check. Overnight stay at a hotel in Kathmandu.
We begin our adventure with an early morning drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar by public bus, enjoying views of terraced fields, rivers, and rural landscapes. From Besisahar, we switch to a local jeep for a rugged, scenic ride through the Marsyangdi Valley to the mountain town of Chame. Chame is the district headquarters of Manang and offers the first real glimpse of high Himalayan scenery. Overnight at a lodge in Chame.
Today’s trek leads us through dense forests, suspension bridges, and beautiful views of Lamjung Himal and Annapurna II. We follow the Marsyangdi River, gradually ascending to the picturesque village of Pisang. Here, the terrain begins to shift toward the alpine, with sparse vegetation and wide valleys. Overnight at a lodge in Pisang.
We continue our climb toward Upper Pisang, a traditional Tibetan-style village that offers stunning panoramic views of Annapurna II, III, IV, and Gangapurna. After reaching Upper Pisang, we’ll spend the rest of the day exploring local monasteries and acclimatizing to the altitude. The atmosphere here is serene, surrounded by Himalayan peaks. Overnight at a lodge in Upper Pisang.
Leaving the village behind, we make our way to Pisang Peak Base Camp. The trail ascends through alpine pastures and rocky terrain. We gradually leave the tree line behind, reaching our tented base camp nestled below the peak. The crew will set up camp and prepare meals while you rest and adjust to the higher altitude. Overnight in tents at Base Camp.
Today we ascend to High Camp, where the air becomes thinner and conditions more challenging. The trail is steep and rugged, often snow-covered depending on the season. Upon reaching High Camp, our climbing guide will check gear and prepare for the summit push. You’ll have time to hydrate, rest, and mentally prepare for tomorrow’s climb. Overnight in tents at High Camp.
Summit day begins early, usually around 2–3 AM. With headlamps and crampons, we ascend gradually over glaciers and snowy ridges. After reaching the summit of Pisang Peak (6,091m), you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. After photos and celebration, we descend carefully back to High Camp, then continue down to Upper Pisang for a well-deserved rest. Overnight at a lodge.
After the successful summit, we join the main Annapurna Circuit trail and trek to the beautiful Himalayan village of Manang. The trail passes through pine forests, mani walls, and monasteries. Manang is a hub for trekkers and climbers, offering internet cafes, bakeries, and medical facilities. Overnight at a lodge in Manang.
To support acclimatization, we take a rest day in Manang. Optional hikes to Gangapurna Lake or the viewpoint above the village help adjust to the altitude. You can also visit the Himalayan Rescue Association for a short altitude lecture or enjoy the cultural richness of this Tibetan-influenced town. Overnight at the same lodge.
The trail now begins to climb steeply as we make our way toward the high Himalayas. Trekking past yak pastures and dry alpine terrain, we reach Chauri Lattar, a small teahouse settlement. The scenery here becomes more barren but striking, with sweeping views of the surrounding peaks. Overnight at a lodge.
A short but important day, today we trek to Thorong Phedi, the base camp of the Thorong La Pass. We take it slow to preserve energy for the challenging pass crossing tomorrow. Upon arrival, we rest and prepare for an early morning departure. Overnight at a lodge in Thorong Phedi.
We start before sunrise for the climb to the famous Thorong La Pass. The high-altitude pass rewards us with stunning views of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. After a celebratory photo at the top, we begin a long descent to the sacred pilgrimage site of Muktinath, known for its eternal flame and 108 holy taps. Overnight at a lodge in Muktinath.
The trek today descends through the arid Mustang region to Jomsom, a windy town and the administrative headquarters of the Mustang district. We pass through the village of Kagbeni, where Tibetan culture remains strong. After reaching Jomsom, we rest and enjoy the comfort of lower altitude. Overnight at a lodge in Jomsom.
We take a scenic early morning flight from Jomsom to Pokhara, flying between the peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Once in Pokhara, the rest of the day is free to relax by the lakeside, enjoy cafes, or visit local attractions like the Peace Pagoda or Davis Falls. Overnight at a hotel in Pokhara.
After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu via a comfortable tourist bus. The drive follows the Trishuli River, offering glimpses of rural life and landscapes. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you can enjoy your final evening with a farewell dinner or some last-minute shopping. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.
Your unforgettable Pisang Peak expedition with Hidden Path Treks & Expeditions comes to an end. A representative will transfer you to the airport for your onward journey. We hope you leave with cherished memories and a deep connection to the Himalayas.
