K2 Base Camp Trek and Gondogoro La Trek give great views of four 8,000m peaks and are thought by many to be one of the best high mountain treks in the world. Some of the wildest and most dramatic landscapes on earth are found in the vast, rugged Karakoram Range situated in Northern Pakistan. Remote and spectacular, the icy peaks and vast Glaciers of the Karakoram offer unparalleled opportunities for adventurous trekking. The 62km long Baltoro Glacier is Pakistan’s number one trekking destination. Seven of the world’s twenty-five highest peaks rise above this glacier, while the lower reaches are surrounded by some of the world’s highest granite walls and spires.

The Baltoro Glacier meets the Vigne and Godwin-Austen glaciers at the vast natural amphitheater of Concordia. The massive pyramid of K2, only 10km distant, dominates the view and creates an extraordinary atmosphere. Our program allows three days in the upper reaches of the Baltoro Glacier. The highest point reached on this trek is the 5,650m summit of the Gondogoro La. Very challenging and technical route, which links the high glacial basin of the upper Baltoro with the green Hushe Valley to the south. The view from the summit is one of the most overwhelming mountain panoramas in the world, with four of the Karakoram 8,000m peaks close at hand.
