Climbing Mt. Baruntse
Baruntse is one of the beautiful 7,000m peaks in Nepal.  It is also one of the few peaks of this height with a high rate of success of ascent along the normal route. The approach to the mountain follows the Makalu base camp trek itinerary. The trek passes through the lush green of  the Arun Valley, Makalu – Barun National Park well known for natural beauty and rich flora and fauna, and over several high passes with spectacular views of the mountains.

This mountain has also been becoming coveted day by day like the other Pumori, Ama Dablam as well as Everest too. The south -East Ridge of Baruntse is little bit difficult because of being straightforward hard ways to climb. There are hard sections of 50 Degree's elevation with a prominent ice cliff to be climbed facing the risk of avalanche. The climbers have succeeded the mountain mostly in the spring season because of being the season the best to the climber safety. But also some climbers have reached on it's top in the autumn season as well.

This Baruntse can be climb through Arun valley to Makalu Base camp as well.
