Barunche Expedition

Barunche Expedition


Mount Barunche lies between two great peaks both above 8000 meters of altitude--Lhotse and Makalu. It is another popular mountain peak in the Everest region and Barunche Expedition has been gaining popularity in the recent days. Mount Barunche was first scaled by two foreign mountaineers--Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow in 1954 from the South-East ridge. The altitude of Mount Barunche is 7129 meters and it is relatively easier mountain expedition. The peak is crowned by four summits on four ridges with a high rate of successful ascent on normal route via South Ridge. Despite being a 7000er, Barunche Expedition involves various mountains over 8000 meters, thus proving itself as an ideal peak for mountain climbing.Barunche Expedition from south-eastern ridge is somewhat difficult to climb. However, the route via Lukla, the Mera-La, and Hinku Valley offers a more accessible alternative route. Hence, we will be attempting the more popular and accessible route via the south ridge with the opportunity of acclimatizing at the Mera Peak (6476 meters). Barunche Expedition lasts a little longer than a month, stretching to around 36 days during which you will be scaling the peak and make a return to the Capital city of Kathmandu.
