Pisang Peak Climb Difficulty:

Pisang Peak Climb is considered the easy to moderate level peak climb in Nepal. With a good fitness level and proper guidance, one can conquer the Pisang Peak trek. Though the climb is a bit technical, it is easy compared to many other climbing peaks in Nepal. To conquer this climbing peak, previous climbing experience, and training is not mandatory. However, if you have one, it boosts your confidence level.

Due to the high elevation, there is always a risk of getting caught by altitude sickness during the trek. Thus, to get proper acclimatization rest, you have to drink enough drinking water during the trek. Furthermore, avoidance of smoking and alcohol drinking is always recommended.

Besides the altitude sickness, the unpredictable weather is always there at the higher altitudes to make your journey more daunting. Also, trekking trails are not always flat and include several ascents and descents, so trail difficulty cannot be ignored during the trek. But if you are an experienced trekker who is climbing the Peak for the first time, you will find the climb easy.
