International Baruntse Expedition 7,129 m. autumn 2024

At the height of 7129m lies Mt. Baruntse on the lap gap of Mt. Everest and mount Makalu. This mountain was first ascended Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow on 30 May 1954. They climbed the mountain by the South -East Ridge. Since then, many climbers have used this route to successfully ascend the summit. This mountain is also becoming a most coveted destination like the mount Pumori, Ama Dablam and the Mount Everest.

The south -East Ridge of Baruntse is little bit difficult because of the steep hard ways to climb. There are hard sections of 50 Degree's elevation with a prominent ice cliff to be climbed facing the risk of avalanche. Over the years, the climbers have succeeded the mountain mostly in the spring season because of less weather activity in this season which ensures safety of the climbers. At times, climbers have reached on its top in even in the autumn season.

The Monterosa Treks and Expedition has been scheduling the itinerary of the expedition from Kathmandu and Lukla flight followed by an approximately 11 days trekking to Baruntse Base Camp. Having completed the trek and the mission, we use the same Lukla and Kathmandu route back home. The Base Camp of Baruntse is located very nearby Panch Pokhari at the height of 5200m. One can also climb Baruntse through the Arun valley via Makalu Base camp.
