Overview
The K2 Base Camp trek is one of the most legendary trekking adventures in the world. No other route compares to the thrill and grandeur of walking along the mighty Baltoro Glacier, leading to Concordia, the most iconic viewpoint in the Karakoram.
At Concordia, trekkers are surrounded by a breathtaking 360° panorama of towering peaks, including the majestic K2 (8,611 m) and Broad Peak (8,051 m), along with countless 7,000 m and 6,000 m peaks rising dramatically in every direction. Along the way from Askole, the trek unfolds stunning views of Paiyu Peak, the spectacular Trango Towers, GIV and the famous K1 (Masherbrum).
Gondogoro La Pass – The Ultimate Adventure
For those seeking an even greater challenge, the trek can be extended via the Gondogoro La Pass (5,585 m)—one of the world’s most renowned high mountain passes. This short but demanding crossing provides an exhilarating alternative to returning the same way.
From the top of Gondogoro La, trekkers are rewarded with unmatched views of four 8,000 m giants:
K2 (8,611 m)
Broad Peak (8,051 m)
Gasherbrum I (8,080 m)
Gasherbrum II (8,035 m)
The sweeping scenery here is considered one of the finest mountain panoramas anywhere on earth.
Optional Extension – Gasherbrum Base Camp
For those who want to make their journey even more remarkable, we offer an optional Gasherbrum Base Camp trek.
Extra cost: USD 200
Extra duration: 2 days
In this extension, trekkers venture from Concordia to the Gasherbrum Base Camp via the Abruzzi Glacier, enjoying awe-inspiring views of Gasherbrum I & II and the stunning Chogholisa Peak (7,665 m). From there, the route rejoins the upper Baltoro Glacier, crossing to the Vigne Glacier and continuing to Ali Camp, the base for Gondogoro La crossing.
Why Choose This Trek?
Walk on one of the world’s largest glaciers outside the polar regions.
Witness legendary peaks up close, including K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I & II, Masherbrum, and Trango Towers.
