Mount Baruntse is a stunning and gorgeous snow peak between Makalu and Everest, lies in the epicenter 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. The reward of summit day includes breathtaking views of Lhotse, Makalu and mighty Everest. The successful climb of Baruntse peak provides utmost chances of success to climbing Mt Everest as the trails and the topography of these mountains are similar to each other.
