35 Days
Mar - May
Description
This 35-day Baruntse expedition is a great opportunity to start climbing in the Himalayas. Besides, you can get stunning views of the highest mountains in the world.
Baruntse (7129 m) is inside Sagarmatha National Park, a protected area in eastern Nepal**.** It lies in the centre of three glacial valleys: the Hunku Glacier, the Barun Glacier and the Imja Glacier.
It is one of the easiest peaks to climb at 7000 meters. Because of that, it’s an ideal training objective for those looking forward to reach higher altitudes.
One of the greatest rewards of climbing Baruntse are its wonderful views. In fact, from its summit you can admire some 8000 meters peaks, like Everest (8848 m), Lhotse (8516 m) and Makalu (8481 m).
In this trip, I will take you through the south-east ridge climbing route, which involves some technical challenges. There are difficult sections of ice at 50 degrees as well as a steep ice cliff to climb.
I recommend spring as the best and safer season to climb this mountain. However, there’s a chance of reaching the summit during autumn too.
For further details about the itinerary of this Baruntse expedition you can find the complete program below.
Please contact me if you want to be a part of this adventure. I am an experienced IFMGA local guide and will be happy to show you this beautiful spot in the Himalayas.

Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
