Route highlights
Mt. Baruntse (7,129m), in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal is considered one of the best peaks for climbers, aiming for 7000m peak in Nepal. Crowned by four peaks and bounded by the Hunku Galcier, the Barun Glacier and the Imja Glacier in the south, east and the west respectively, this peak, boasts of a high success rate of climbing the summit and returning safely. Therefore, like Mt. Amadablam Expedition, Mt. Pumori Expedition, and Mt. Manaslu Expedition is gaining more popularity these days. The mountain, however, was first successfully climbed by Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow (New Zealand), in the expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary via south ridge on May 30, 1954.
The expedition: This expedition can be attempted via two routes: i) Lukla via Mera La pass and Hunku glacier or ii) Tumlingtar along the Makalu access trek and west Barun glacier. Amigo Treks and Expedition has been organizing Mt. Baruntse Expedition from Kathmandu and Lukla flight by an approximately 11 days trekking across the Hunku Valley, amazing Sherpa villages and a beautiful alpine environment to the Baruntse Base Camp. With base camp at 5,300m, we will set up two high camps before attempting the summit. Before reaching the summit, one needs to pass through steep section of ice at 50 degrees and prominent ice cliffs at about 7000m, facing the very high risk of avalanche. About 9 days are required to successfully climb the mountain. The top greets you with a beautiful view of Lhotse south and Makalu east. The same route will be followed back to the starting point to end the expedition. Moreover, if you are also looking for the weather to support you, make plans either for spring or autumn.
Booking this expedition package with Amigo Treks and Expedition ensures the benefits of bed and breakfast in Kathmandu and full board (meal and accommodation) during the trek. During the climbing period, both meal and accommodation will be arranged in a tented camp itself. Our medically trained and government certified English speaking guides will also carry a comprehensive medical kit, a portable altitude satellite phone and walkie talkie as a safety backup through the Baruntse expedition.
Nevertheless, the trip can be customized to your requirements and needs. We guarantee 100% departure on all customized trips. Come with a partner or in a group and get special discount. Also make sure to be physically fit before the final departure for the expedition.
