Barunste expedition

This mountain is situated at the height of 7129m. It lies in between the lap of Mt. Everest and Mt. Makalu . On 30 May 1954, Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow limbed this mountain first time. They climbed this peak through the south East Ridge . After that, many people have been found using this route and they have been very successful. This mountain is also being popular day by day.

The south east ridge of the Baruntse is little bit difficult for it is quite straightforward and hard to climb. You see hard sections of the elevation with 50 degree along with the prominent ice cliff. Therefore, there is a constant danger and risk of avalanche. Climbers who climbed during spring season have been found very successful. This season is best from the safety point of view. Nevertheless, few climbers have ascended it in winter as well.

The expedition starts according to the schedule we have fixed in Kathmandu . We catch a flight to Lukla from Kathmandu . It is almost 11 days trek on foot to Baruntse base camp. While returning back to Kathmandu , we follow the same route. The Baruntse base camp is situated near the Panchpokhari at the height of 5200m. This mountain can be climbed through the Arun valley and Makalu base camp as well.

Client Reviews

I was trekking on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in November 2007 together with two friends. It was wonderful getting to know rural Nepal and experiencing the enchanting scenery of the mountains. Ngima Sherpa was our trekking guide. It was his great enthusiasm that made our trip an unforgettable experience! He was reliable, perfectly organised and did far more than the necessary "guiding job": for example getting up in the early hours to run before us to secure accomodation, providing a girl we met on the trek with equipment when her shoes became broken or recommending accomodation in Karthmandu. The daily parts of the trek were well organized with enough time for breaks and to accomodate to the altitude.
