Overview

This trek is one of the world’s top high-altitude journeys, offering views of four 8,000-meter peaks in Northern Pakistan’s Karakoram Range. Known for its remote glaciers and dramatic mountain landscapes, the region is a favorite among international trekkers and adventure seekers.

The Baltoro Glacier, stretching 62 kilometers, is the main highlight of the route. Surrounded by towering granite spires and some of the planet’s highest mountains, it provides an unmatched trekking experience.

At the meeting point of the Baltoro, Vigne, and Godwin-Austen glaciers lies Concordia—often called the “throne room of the mountains.” Just 10 kilometers away, the iconic K2 rises sharply above the horizon, creating an unforgettable setting for trekkers. Our plan includes three days around the upper Baltoro area, giving enough time to explore and enjoy this remarkable place.

The journey continues to Gondogoro La Pass (5,650m), a challenging but rewarding crossing that connects the Baltoro region with the Hushe Valley. From the top, trekkers can admire close-up views of four 8,000-meter peaks—K2, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, and Broad Peak—making this one of the most remarkable trekking experiences in Pakistan.
