K2 Base Camp Trek


Believed to be one of the greatest treks of the world, K2 Gondogoro-La Trek with impressive mountain scenery of spectacular Karakoram giants like K2, Broad Peak and Gasherbrums is a lifetime experience. The actual trip starts in Islamabad; the political capital of Pakistan that rests itself in the laps of lush green Margalla Hills. Before we reach Skardu we drive on Karakoram Highway, carved in rocks by Chinese and Pakistani engineers is a thrilling adventure. With marvelous sights of Nanga Parbat we drive along the Indus River. En-route we make short photo and rest breaks, we also stop at Shatial and Chilas to visit ancient rock carvings.

The K2 bound trekking adventure starts from Askole, porters packing our supplies when we gear up to board on to our wilderness experience. Following the trail along the Braldu River into Baltoro Glacier, we trek along world famed granites and spires we make our way into the "Thorn Room of Mountain Gods". The mesmerizing views of K2 and other peaks from Concordia are unforgettable.
