Amazing experience

I had an amazing experience with Nepal Social Trek! Starting with clear communication and well-organized trip planning followed by a warm welcome, we were impressed by the great hospitality we received from everyone. The trip was a real adventure, full of happy emotions and beautiful moments shared together. Our guides, Narayan and Govinda, were extremely skilled and knowledgeable. They were not only excellent guides but also beautiful people from a human point of view. After the trek, Nepal Social Trek also arranged a guided tour of the city of Bhaktapur and its temples for us. I absolutely recommend Nepal Social Trek!

Good experience in Nepal

I did the Chisapani Nagarkot trekk. My guide Kamal was very considerate, landscapes were nice and the hotels and food were good. We also visited Bhaktapur which is nice. I recommend visting Nepal and the Nepal social company.

Langtang Valley Trek

What an epic trip! Nepal Social Treks were brilliant. Seamless organisation from start to finish. They were always friendly and responsive with communication before I came out, were helpful when it came to hiccups with my baggage. And were flexible with my tour, switching from the Tamang to the Langtang trek with no complaints. My guide - Kamal, and porter - Santa, were both excellent. Kamal was super knowledgable, trustworthy, and great company. Santa’s a legend! The accommodation & food were great. The daily trekking: incredible and just the right level of challenging. I could not recommend this trek enough if you’re after something shorter.

Nepal Social Treks were an amazing company who helped me make memories for my life on a climbing attempt of Island Peak December 2023. Even though it was in the off-season and in December, they ensured I had everything necessary to achieve my goal and enjoy my winter trek. They were also very helpful after the trek and I enjoyed my conversations in their Kathmandu office. I'd recommend my friends to go climbing with them any day.

A trip organized by Simina Cernat our guide from România with a very good collaboration with Nepal Social Trecks. This was an experience of a lifetime rafting mountains nature people… We are grateful we had Lakpa to guide us throughout the trecking. Lakpa carefully addressed all our questions and help us understand Nepali culture he was the best guide friendly, kind, patient and felt very taken care of during our 9days trek on the Annapurna Circuit. At 5000m i had a difficult moment, could hardly walk but Lakpa immediately observed that and he helped me succesfully reach to Thorong La pass. 5416m. Also the two porters Nima and Manut were very nice and helpful. The trip itself was well thought through for our needs and expectations. Thank you Lakpa and high-level

What is the best time to take on Baruntse Expedition?

The best time to carry out this Baruntse Expedition is between April and May in spring and October and November in the fall. The Southeast ridge is considered the best route for you to climb this spectacular mountain.

Am I likely to get altitude sickness on this expedition?

As the elevation on this expedition exceeds 7000m, the possibilities of getting altitude sickness are generally high. You will have less contact with oxygen as you summit the top of Mount Baruntse. However, we have designed the itinerary in a way that you get a proper time to acclimatize. Our guides have years and years of experience in handling this kind of situation as they are trained well in using first-aid kits.

Plus, our guides will carry emergency oxygen with a regulator and mask while climbing so that you can receive immediate help when you need it. In case your situation gets worse, we will carry out the emergency rescue evacuation as per the company’s rule.

Who will be my guide?

We provide you local guides. On each expedition, our guides have been to the relevant areas many times. All the guides are experienced, flexible, and authorized by the Government of Nepal.

Our guides are professionals on mountaineering with extensive knowledge on the Himalayas, more than 5 years of experience with at least 3 times summit of Mt. Everest and are trained and assessed by the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA) or Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) with many years of Mountaineering experience in the world’s highest mountains.

What kind of insurance do I need for this expedition?

We recommend you get full insurance that includes travel, medical, and emergency evacuation to avoid unnecessary expenses in case of any unfortunate incident. Choose your insurance wisely, and if you have trouble, we can direct you just to the right one.

What do I need to get a Nepal Visa for the expedition?

To get Nepal visa, you need to have the following documents with you:

Two Passport-sized photos with a light backgroundCash in USD to get the visa fee.Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months.

Are the guides insured?

Yes. At Nepal Social Treks & Expedition, we make sure all our guides are well insured.

Do I need to tip the climbing guide and porter during this expedition?

Usually, climbing guides and porters expect some tips after the successful summit of the peak. You can tip them according to the satisfaction of your entire trip. The guides typically get USD300-500 while the porters get USD150.

How difficult is this Baruntse Expedition?

The difficulty level of Baruntse Expedition depends on these common factors:

Weather conditions and temperatureClimbing routeYour physical fitnessBasic climbing tricks and skillsHigh altitude sicknessTotal distance covered in the whole adventureClothing and necessary equipment

Should I have prior mountaineering experience for climbing Mount Baruntse?

It will be of great help if you have a prior climbing experience as Mount Baruntse lies above 7000 meters, which is undoubtedly pretty challenging to scale. However, don’t worry if you don’t have any experience. We will provide a half-day climbing training at Baruntse Base Camp. The Climbing Sherpa guides will teach you all the techniques for ice climbing and rock climbing and will give you proper instructions on using ropes and other climbing gear.

Are there any accidents recorded on Mount Baruntse?

Back in 2010, 19 times Everest summiteer Chhewang Nima of Nepal lost his life on Baruntse. He fell through a cornice while fixing a rope beneath the summit. Likewise, a 36-years-old British mountaineer named Michael Turner died while scaling Mount Baruntse back in May 2003. Michael lost his life after a rope snapped.
