Overview

Conquer the World’s Greatest Mountain Trek

The K2 Base Camp & Gondogoro La Trek is considered one of the most breathtaking and rewarding high-altitude treks on Earth. This iconic 22-day journey takes you deep into the heart of the Karakoram Range, home to some of the world’s tallest and most awe-inspiring peaks—K2 (8611m), Broad Peak, Masherbrum, and the famous Trango Towers.

From the starting point in Askole village, you’ll trek along the mighty Baltoro Glacier, through dramatic gorges, towering rock faces, and expansive ice fields, all the way to Concordia, known as the “Throne Room of the Mountain Gods.” For seasoned adventurers, crossing the Gondogoro La Pass (5,600m) offers a stunning 360° panorama and a true mountaineering thrill.
