Overview
Trip overview
A quick summary of the route, support level, and the main things travelers should know before booking.
✦
Mt. Baruntse (7,129m), in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal is considered one of the best peaks for climbers, aiming for 7000m peak in Nepal. Crowned by four peaks and bounded by the Hunku Galcier, the Barun Glacier and the Imja Glacier in the south, east and the west respectively, this peak, boasts of a high success rate of climbing the summit and returning safely. Therefore, like Mt. Amadablam Expedition, Mt. Pumori Expedition, and Mt. Manaslu Expedition is gaining more popularity these days. The mountain, however, was first successfully climbed by Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow (New Zealand), in the expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary via south ridge on May 30, 1954.
✦
The expedition: This expedition can be attempted via two routes: i) Lukla via Mera La pass and Hunku glacier or ii) Tumlingtar along the Makalu access trek and west Barun glacier. Amigo Treks and Expedition has been organizing Mt. Baruntse Expedition from Kathmandu and Lukla flight by an approximately 11 days trekking across the Hunku Valley, amazing Sherpa villages and a beautiful alpine environment to the Baruntse Base Camp. With base camp at 5,300m, we will set up two high camps before attempting the summit. Before reaching the summit, one needs to pass through steep section of ice at 50 degrees and prominent ice cliffs at about 7000m, facing the very high risk of avalanche. About 9 days are required to successfully climb the mountain. The top greets you with a beautiful view of Lhotse south and Makalu east. The same route will be followed back to the starting point to end the expedition. Moreover, if you are also looking for the weather to support you, make plans either for spring or autumn.
✦
Booking this expedition package with Amigo Treks and Expedition ensures the benefits of bed and breakfast in Kathmandu and full board (meal and accommodation) during the trek. During the climbing period, both meal and accommodation will be arranged in a tented camp itself. Our medically trained and government certified English speaking guides will also carry a comprehensive medical kit, a portable altitude satellite phone and walkie talkie as a safety backup through the Baruntse expedition.

Nevertheless, the trip can be customized to your requirements and needs. We guarantee 100% departure on all customized trips. Come with a partner or in a group and get special discount. Also make sure to be physically fit before the final departure for the expedition.

Everest Base Camp Trek
★★★★★
WOW, Where do I start? I have wanted to do this trek for about 30 years, so when we decided to book we compared many trekking companies to decide who to go with and #AmigoTrekking scored the best and they certainly lived up to expectations. We had an amazing journey far better than our wildest dreams. There were a few reasons why our trip was so good and here's why. Prior to the Journey: AMIGO Trekking were so professional prior to the journey, answering my numerous emails in the leadup in regards to gear requirements, weight of rental gear and logistics. We communicated with Niti regularly and she always got back to me within 24 hours. This is very important when trying to plan such a trip. Amigo and Niti were also the only company that effortlessly accommodated our desire to extend our stay in Tengboche to attend the festival at the monastery. (November) Once we arrived: We were greeted at the airport by a very friendly and professional mountain guide 'Hari Adhikari' who immediately helped us navigate our exit from the airport making a very chaotic situation easy. We felt like royalty. Little did we know at that point just how much this one man would shape our trek into the amazing journey it became. For the next 14 days Hari was by our side perfectly pacesetting our speed for success. He steered us to quality tea houses with the best food for breaks, negotiated the best rooms for us every night and even showed us the best spots for pictures along the way. His experience and cheery disposition was very visible with every interaction he had. He seemed to be best friends with every guide, porter and tea house owner we passed. Hence we nicknamed him 'Happy Hari'. No task was too big or small and he made a point of letting us know where he'd be every night (his room number, tent or dining room) in case we needed him. He was not only the main reason for our successful completion of the Trek, but added many enjoyable moments for us as well. If you are lucky enough to have Hari as your guide, make sure you take a pack of UNO cards with you. Hari loves the game! Along with Hari we were also lucky to have on our team an amazing young man Chandra (Sandra) who was our super human porter. He too always wore a smile, even when lugging our bags over rock after rock! Thanks mate, we don't know how you do it. If we can impart one thing we've learned that will make your Trek in Nepal memorable. It's go with Amigo and insist on Hari and Chandra. You won't regret it! Thanks guys, we are forever grateful.
