Baruntse (7129m) is an eminently beautiful peak in Makalu Barun National Park. It lies just east of Everest between Mt. Everest and Makalu. The surrounds and the symmetry have earned this peak an identity of its own. Baruntse may not stand above its mighty eight-thousander neighbors at its altitude. But the fine combination of four summits crowning the same number of ridges stands it out among its big neighbors.
