Discover the journey
Baruntse is a mountain in Nepal bounded by three glaciers and crowned by four famous peaks. This provides the panoramic view of the Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse. Baruntse was first climbed in May 30, 1954 through the South ridge. Although, the altitude is less than neighboring mountains, it is exciting and challenging to climb. It also offers the ideal training of peak climb before embarking on any of the 8000 m peak expeditions in the Himalayas. This is not a technically difficult climb but it offers a good experience of snow and ice climb with some ice cliff obstacle sections through fixed ropes. Generally, two camps are set up on mountain at 6000 m and 6300 m. The expedition will be following the southeast ridge to climb the mountain.
