Baruntse is a mountain situated close to Makalu in Eastern Nepal. Crowned by four peaks and bounded to the South by the Hunku glacier and on the East by the Barun glacier and to the North West by the Imja glacier. Baruntse is one of the most beautiful 7000m peaks in Nepal. Its first ascent was in 30 May 1954 via the South ridge by a New Zealand expedition.
Baruntse provides a great challenge and is an ideal objective for those who have previously climbed to around 6000m. It is considered objectively safe and offers a tremendously rewarding climb among the World’s highest peaks. Summit day includes spectacular views of Lhotse, Everest and Makalu. The expedition will approach Baruntse via one of two options depending on the weather situation and local logistics. Baruntse is an impressive and straightforward 7000m peak.
Option 1
Via Lukla, the Mera La and Hinku valley as if going to Mera Peak. We would exit via the Amphulapche Pass past Island Peak and then down the main Everest trail.
Option 2
From the Makalu side via the Barun National Park, famous for its flora and fauna, after taking the spectacular flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar.
