Overview

Baruntse Expedition is an expedition on a beautiful peak of the Everest Region, and to do this, first, you have to trek throughthe Hinku / Hongu valley, as well as cross the two passes, such as Tsetrawa la at 4,600m/15,088ft and Mera la at 5,500m/ 18040ft. Then you reach the base camp of Baruntse, situated in a grassy meadow, which has a small lake and the Hunku glacier. From the base camp, you follow a climbing route, that is, the south east ridge of the mountain. Our climbing route is on the South East ridge of the mountain. A deposit camp is placed at 5,800m/19,024ft. before advance base camp is set-up near the West Col 6,135m/20,122ft from where we climb the South East Ridge of the mountain to its summit. The route above here is entirely on snow and ice and is not particularly technical apart from a prominent ice cliff around 7000m. Two higher camps at 6,420m/ 21,057ft at the foot of South East ridge and another camp at 6,650m/21,812ft. are placed before the summit is attempted.

A deposit camp is set up at 5,800m/19,024ft, while an advanced base camp is set-up at 6,135m/20,122ft. From this base camp, you head off to the summit. Our approach to this beautiful peak Mt. Baruntse (7,193m/23,593ft.) is through the Hinku / Hongu valley. Two mountain passes: Tsetrawa la at 4,600m/15,088ft and Mera la at 5,500m/ 18040ft are crossed before base camp is reached at 5450m/17900ft. Here, the climbing route is not technical. Two higher camps will be set up at 6,420m/ 21,057ft and at 6,650m/21,812ft, which are near the summit. From this summit, you will see an exceptional view of mountains, and some of these include Lhotse, Makalu, Chamlang, and Kanchenjunga The approach to the base camp from Lukla, where we fly, is approximately 7 days walk through a remote country.
