Overview

Mt Baruntse Expedition is Nepal’s most popular 7000er climbing journey. It is a top pick for semi-technical climbing experience. The ascent of Baruntse is complete, exciting, adventurous, and full of amazing experiences.

With a height of 7,129m, Baruntse Peak is based on the main Himalayan area of the Everest Region. It stands between two giant peaks, Makalu and Lhotse. Mt Everest, Cho Oyu, Mera Peak, and Ama Dablam are also close to the peak.

On Alpine Grading, Baruntse Peak is rated at AD+. Though slightly technical, Baruntse Peak is one of the accessible 7000 m+ peaks in the country. Most of the expeditions are done via the southeast side, which is semi-technical. The climbing trail is on snowy and ice surfaces, where you have to use fixed ropes. It is a great climb for anyone looking for high-elevation climbing.

Baruntse Expedition starts with a picturesque flight to Lukla, the gateway to Everest. The adventure is on after there. You trek via the comparatively off-the-beaten side of the region. Exploring the unexplored and experiencing sheer natural beauty, you follow the trail to Baruntse. Trekking from Lukla to Baruntse Base Camp is rewarding.

The real adventure, the climb, starts after Baruntse Base Camp when you push for the summit. You follow the snowy and iced trail to the southeast ridge. Following the Sherp Guide, you will cross crevasses and exposed sections of the peak using your climbing skills and ropes.

Ultimately, you will tap the summit(7,219m) with a proud chest. You will observe a magnificent view of Everest, Makalu, Mera Peak, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Kanchenjunga, and more. Following a successful ascent of Baruntse, you will descend back to Base Camp and finally to Lukla.

In sum, Baruntse Expedition is an extraordinary climbing journey. It offers you the ultimate trekking cum climbing experience in the region. You can use that to get ready for further climbing journeys that are higher.

If you are searching for the best 7000er to climb, Baruntse Peak is the ultimate peak. The semi-technical climb is great for leveling your climbing journey to the 7000m+ club.
