THE GRAND KARAKORAM CROSSING
K2, CONCORDIA AND THE GONDOGORO LA
This is Pakistan’s definitive high-altitude trek: a journey up the Baltoro Glacier beneath Trango Towers and Masherbrum, into the mountain amphitheatre of Concordia, and onward to K2 Base Camp.
The route continues across Gondogoro La using fixed ropes before descending through the Hushe Valley. It demands strong fitness, acclimatisation, previous trekking experience and flexibility around mountain conditions.
