Pisang Peak (6091 m) rises from yak pastures above the village of Pisang in a uniform slope to the final summit pyramid, which is a snow and ice slope. The peak obviously has a lot of scope for exploration and pioneering. The whole of the western flank, which is guarded by a hanging glacier, would appear to offer a considerable challenge. It is a long snow slog above Pisang village, steep snow at the top. The mountaineering school at Manang uses Pisang Peak for training climbs.

Pisang Peak rises above from Pisang village and yak pastures in a uniform slope of ice and snow to the final summit pyramid. This peak is considered as the easy climbing peak in Nepal.
