Baruntse Expedition via Mera Peak

Baruntse Expedition is one of the great opportunity to prepare yourselves if you are eyeing for an 8000m in future.

Mount Baruntse is a stunning and gorgeous snow peak between Makalu and Everest, lies in the epicentre of three glacier valleys, the Imja, the Hunku and Baruntse. The peak itself commands a central position amongst some of the high peaks of the Himalaya and it is the most accessible 7000m peak in the region besides having a normal route of ascent which can be guided.

Baruntse was the early Himalayan peaks recognized by Edmund Hillary‘s team for climbing east of Everest and this mountain was first ascended by Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow in 1954 by the South-East Ridge. The peak is crowned by four summits on four ridges with a high rate of successful ascent on normal route via South Ridge.

Our Baruntse Expedition is followed by Mera Peak summit. This will be a great preparation in terms of acclimatization and physicality for Baruntse. You will be trekking in one of the beautiful regions of Nepal.
