    38 Days

Mt. Baruntse is a mountain in eastern Nepal, crowned by four peaks and bounded on the south by the Hunku Glacier, on the east by the Barun Glacier, and on the northwest by the Imja Glacier.

The peak stands majestically surrounded by some of the world’s highest mountains – EverestLhotse, and Makalu to the north and Makalu on the other side.

The climb up to West Col imposes significant challenge. The summit overall is not so technical but is physically demanding. The mountain was first climbed May 30, 1954, via the south ridge by Colin Todd and Geoff Harrow of a New Zealand expedition.
