This remarkable trek combines the classic route along the Baltoro Glacier to Concordia with ample time to ascend the Godwin Austin Glacier to K2 Base Camp. It is undeniably the most awe-inspiring trek in Pakistan, drawing a significant number of trekkers and expeditions. The trek offers unparalleled views of the Karakoram’s colossal mountains, including four of the world’s highest peaks. Reaching the convergence of the Godwin Austin Glacier, which ascends from K2, and the Baltoro Glacier, known as ‘Concordia’ at 4700 meters, lies in the heart of the most heavily glaciated region outside the polar areas and the densest concentration of peaks on earth. You will marvel at the sheer scale of Golden Throne, Gasherbrum IV, Broad Peak, Chhogo Lisa, Mitre Peak, and K2, the second-highest peak in the world. However, all these peaks can be seen from the front of the Concordia camp.The trek commences from Skardu and drives to Askole, where our staff and porters prepare the load for the trek. In the initial stages, we cross the snout of the Biafo Glacier and negotiate the narrow trails above the Braldu River before ascending the lateral moraine to the Baltoro Glacier. As we ascend the glacier, we gain unparalleled views of the Karakoram. With the option of stopping at non-traditional campsites wherever possible, we traverse the surrounding rock spires and granite towers, occasionally on and off the Baltoro Glacier itself. We eventually reach Concordia, from where we have the most breathtaking view of some of the world’s greatest giants, including K2 (8611m), Broad Peak (8048m), Gasherbrum II (8035m), Gasherbrum IV (7925m), Chhogo Lisa (7665m), and Golden Throne (7240m), as well as everything down the Baltoro Valley. Let’s embark on this captivating and enriching trek with Easilytrip.com.
