Overview

The 20-day K2 Base Camp & Gondogoro La Trek is the crown jewel of Karakoram adventures, combining the legendary journey to K2 Base Camp with a thrilling crossing of the Gondogoro La Pass (5,585m). Starting from Skardu, the trail follows the Baltoro Glacier through iconic campsites like Paiju, Urdukas, and Goro, leading to Concordia—the breathtaking amphitheater of the Karakoram where K2, Broad Peak, and the Gasherbrums rise in all their glory.

After visiting K2 Base Camp, the adventure continues with the ascent of Gondogoro La, a demanding but rewarding climb that unveils a 360° panorama of the Karakoram’s highest peaks. The descent into the lush Hushe Valley completes a perfect circuit, offering both dramatic mountain scenery and cultural encounters in remote Balti villages.

Challenging yet unforgettable, this 20-day trek blends glaciers, high passes, and towering summits with warm local hospitality. It is designed for seasoned trekkers eager to experience the very best of Pakistan’s mountains in a single, once-in-a-lifetime journey.
