Baruntse

Date:
30.10.2011
Characteristic:
Expedition

After having summited Mera Peak and spent the night at Kongme Dingma with a good meal and cake for dessert, we were mostly ready to continue towards Baruntse. I had hoped that the sore throat and cold-like symptoms I had from Mera Peak high camp would have disappeared when I woke up this morning but unfortunately that wasn’t the case and I was feeling just as wiped out and generally not-in-form as the previous day. Fortunately the approach to the next camp at Five Lakes wasn’t going to be the world’s most exhausting day of walking. The route basically followed the Honku river valley northwards with some impressive and huge mountainsides on both the west and east sides (although I don’t remember what the names of these peaks are). We had a very laid-back lunch around halfway to the next camp >>>

I joined a trip to Mera Peak and Baruntse which was organized by a UK-based company. Since I was travelling from Tromsø, I joined the rest of the group in Kathmandu after having taken a rather long route (Tromsø-Oslo-Bangkok-Kathmandu) with Thai Airways. We were a group of 9 people plus two trip leaders, Mark and Paddy – both of whom turned out to be ultra friendly and had a good sense of humour. 17th October 2011: In Lukla The first part of the trip was the approach to Mera Peak, which involved an early morning flight into Lukla situated at 2800m. We should have been walking to our next camp at Poyan after arriving in Lukla, but since there was some delay in getting the expedition equipment from Kathmandu to Lukla, we ended up spending a night in Lukla and generally relaxing.
