In spite of we didn't reach the summit of Baruntse mountain, I am very happy for this mountaineering experience for the exceptional performance of the sirdar Lhakpa Gelbu Sherpa and the porters were very strong and they didn't give any problem in spite of the difficulties.

Unfortunately we don't get seat for the flight for Lukla to Kathmandu for the 3rd of May and was impossible to postpone the internationals flight to Italy - fixed for the 4th of May caused the overbooking in this.
