 K2 Base Camp Trek (2020-2021)

K2 Base Camp Trek is considered as the world’s famous high altitude trekking route, challenging and demanding but equally rewarding, delightful and remarkable as well. Skardu, the bewitching capital of Baltistan region, is the starting point for mighty K-2. We cross a beautiful lush green fertile and fruit laden Shigar valley and drive as far as Askoli, the last inhabitant before falling into the throne of mountains.

K2 Base Camp Trekking (Views)

Walking on the unpredictable but charismatic and enchanting Baltoro Glacier, we glimpse several famous and beautiful mountains on K2 Base Camp Trekking.

The landscape is bewitching but wild and unpredictable. There is no glacier like Baltoro on this planet which connects Goodwin Austin glacier towards mighty Broad Peak and K2.  It is one of the many hours’s walking on earth.

K2 Base Camp and Concordia is a sacred place of Nature. A sanctuary of the most beautiful mountains with magical names which evoke dreams and adventures so far. Concordia is hard, inhospitable and inhuman. But it is, in all of this, where its beauty, enormous fascination and power is found. (by Maria-victoria from ALICANTE).
