Shatung<\/b> Peak Expedition | 2026 Booking, Prices & Full Itinerary<\/b><\/h1>\n

Shatung Peak (5,250m) is a rarely climbed and rewarding mountain near Skardu, offering an ideal introduction to technical mountaineering in the Karakoram. Despite its moderate height, the peak delivers a true alpine experience with snow slopes, rocky terrain, and glacier travel. This expedition is perfect for climbers looking to develop high-altitude skills, gain expedition experience, or prepare for more demanding peaks, all while exploring the pristine landscapes of Deosai National Park and Baltistan.<\/p>\n

The Shatung Peak climbing expedition is perhaps the most accessible high-altitude summit in Pakistan. Situated in the heart of the Deosai National Park, the world’s second-highest plateau, Shatung Peak (5,250m) serves as an incredible “training peak” for aspiring mountaineers.<\/p>\n

Unlike the grueling multi-week expeditions of the central Karakoram, the Shatung Peak climbing expedition can be completed in just 9 days. The route is non-technical, following gentle slopes and a final manageable ridge. Despite its ease, the reward is legendary: from the summit, you can witness a 360-degree panorama that includes K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, and Nanga Parbat. For many, this is the only place on earth where you can see all of Pakistan\u2019s 8,000m giants from one spot.<\/p>\n
