The Baruntse Expedition is a thrilling adventure for climbers looking to summit a 7000 meter peak in a remote area of Nepal. At 7129 meters, Baruntse Peak is located just south of the semi-circle of great mountains, which includes Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Makalu. The climb to Baruntse approaches the base camp through the pristine wilderness of the Hinku valley and the renowned Mera La of Makalu Barun remote valleys. This expedition is considered one of the easier climbs of a 7000+ meter peak, with a high success rate of reaching the summit and returning safely.

Participating in the Baruntse climb requires using many of the varied skills necessary for climbing 8000 meter peaks, making it an ideal training ground before embarking on higher altitude expeditions. The steep sections of ice at 50 degrees and a prominent ice cliff at about 7000 meters make the South-East Ridge of Baruntse a challenging and demanding climb.

Our Baruntse Expedition itinerary is carefully designed to give expedition members proper acclimatization and sufficient stamina and skill to tackle the summit push. We also offer a special refreshment climbing training course at base camp for all members. Our base camp is located at 5300 meters, where our experienced climbing guides set up higher camps at 6400 and 6800 meters and fix ropes to ensure a safe and secure summit push. We also have medically trained guides and a comprehensive medical kit, Oxygen cylinder, Portable Altitude Chamber, satellite phone, and walkie-talkie as a safety backup throughout the expedition.

We organize this Baruntse itinerary with a practice climb to Mera Peak, and offer all-inclusive expedition costs from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. The best time to climb is in the spring and autumn, and we are happy to customize the expedition to your requirements in the years 2023 and 2024.
