This is another attractive Mountain for climbing due to its location, classical symmetrical beauty and relatively accessible to climbers across wide range of skills. It is the most accessible 7000-meter peak in the region besides having a normal route of ascent.

Baruntse was first ascended by Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow by South-East ridge in year 1954. This trip gives the opportunity to warm up on Mera Peak, 6,476 meters (21,247 feet). Mera Peak is a classic, easier, Nepali peak. It is an excellent training ground for the more challenging Baruntse. Both trips (Mera/ Baruntse and Baruntse only) cross the incredibly beautiful Amphu Labtsa Pass, 5,845 metres (19,177 feet). Its route is not technically demanding and basically an effortless climbing on snow and ice with some section of over hangings Mt. Baruntse Expedition.

It would become the most satisfying challenge in the Himalayan and provides other side of beautiful view of Lhotse, Nuptse and Everest. This trip could be the breathtaking moment in your lifetime.
