Trekkers and climbers typically make final purchases and preparations for their mountaineering journey in Skardu. After spending two days in Skardu, you'll drive by jeep to Askoli, the last village, before entering the remote wilderness of the Karakoram Mountains. This night will be your first camping under the stars. The trekking portion of the expedition begins in Askoli, with a trek through the Braldu Gorge to the snout of the Baltoro Glacier, which you will then follow to Concordia.
After a night at Concordia, the trek to K2 Base Camp marks the beginning of the climbing phase. We establish a base camp at the foot of K2, where our experienced mountain guide, chef, and support staff will be stationed throughout your climb. Our chef ensures you receive a well-balanced diet, crucial for successful mountaineering. After the climbing phase, you'll retrace your steps back to Islamabad, spending, a night in the city before your return flight.
