Join our expedition on the south ridge of Baruntse in the Khumbu region of Nepal. An excellent ridge route to over 23,687 ft.; yet relatively moderate technical route to high altitude. This is the perfect first major Himalayan climb for anyone wanting to move onto 8000-meter expeditions or go beyond the trekking peaks. Develop high altitude expedition experience on this remarkable peak across the glacier from the Lhotse/Everest and Makalu groups. Our trek starts in Lukla, following the Mera Peak trek up to Mera La and then to Baruntse base camp. The route is not technically demanding and essentially a straightforward climbing on snow and ice with some sections of over hangings. Normally, two high camps are established above the base camp in Baruntse climbing. The camp I is set up just below East Col. at an altitude of 6135m and the camp II is on the South – East Ridge at a height of 6400m.
