Pisang Peak (Jong Ri) is a trekking peak in the Annapurna sanctuary region of North-Central Nepal. It’s located North of the Town of Pisang and Annapurnna II.Once you get out of Pisang you can camp anywhere. However there are 3 standard camping locations.
Base camp is at 4200m in a flat alpine section along the well worn trail. The piles of rocks for wind breaks make it obvious.A poor place to put high camp is located at approxamtely 4900m just on the edge of the snow line, camping here will give you a very long summit day.
High Camp is located at 5200m, just shy of the actual west ridge. It is easy to miss, however if you follow the route which leads you up to the west ridge and reach the west ridge itself you’ve past high camp by only 60ft.
