Overview of Baruntse and Mera Peak Expedition Nepal

Baruntse a 7,152 meters peak is the central viewing point between Everest and Makalu. It is one of the most magnificent seven-thousand-meter peaks in Nepal with moderate difficulty. If you look from the Makalu or Everest area to the extreme southwest corner of the Solo Khumbu area, you immediately notice a wonderfully shapely ice pyramid. The Baruntse falls in all directions with cliffs and ice flanks onto the surrounding glaciers, only to the south, it sends a flawless, passable ridge down to the West-Col (6,143 m), the transition from the Makalu to the Everest area. Expeditions have repeatedly been carried out over this ridge in recent years, including regularly by Thamserku Expedition.

Even just accessing the base camp is an adventurous undertaking that allows you to get to know Nepal from one of its most remote corners. With the tactical move with the ascent of the Mera Peak 6,476 meters, you are well acclimatized and well prepared to be able to climb the Baruntse quickly, without wasting time.

The ascent of the Mera Peak Central 6,476 m is a glaciated high tour with short steep climbs up to 40 ° steepness. You should
be an experienced crampon walker; you should be able to climb flanks with a steepness of 35-40o without a rope safety device. In addition to the usual trekking equipment, a pair of warm crampon- compatible mountaineering boots, crampons and an ice axe, as well as safety material, are required for the ascent.

Overview of the Himlung Expedition

Himlung Himal (7126M) lies in the secluded Mustang region close to Tibet border. Himlung was allowed for climbing in the same year of opening of Mustang valley for tourism in 1992. Same year the first ascent of the peak was made by a Japanese expedition team.

As the peak lies in the restricted area of Nar Phu valley, the trek to the base camp itself is a magnificent experience. As the valley is between the Annapurna and Manaslu region, it is a real gem which allows the trekkers to experience both raw Himalayan nature and ancient Buddhist culture.

The Himlung can be graded as less technical and ideally best seven thousand meters peak for a beginner mountaineer who is looking forward to climbing eight thousand meters peak such as Everest. But one cannot underestimate the Himlung Himal because a large part of the ascent is covered at high altitudes around 6500 meters and required a high level of fitness. For climbing, we take the southern route and turn towards the northeastern ridge for the summit. We set our base camp at the elevation of around 4900 meters and other two higher camps for the successful ascent. The expedition will be organized and escorted by our highly skilled/qualified climbing guides and kitchen team.

On reaching the summit, one can enjoy the 360° view of Dhaulagiri Range, Annapurna Range, Manaslu and other peaks. Since we started operating Himlung expedition, we have a 100% success rate till today.
