Concordia is K2's
most spectacular view point and K2 base camp trek is one of the world's top treks.
K2 And Concordia - 5200m
A superb trek in the heart of Karakoram
mountain range that takes you to the glacial
junction known as Concordia which is
dominated by some of the most stunning
peaks in the world including the mighty south
face of K2 (8611m), Broad Peak (8047m),
Gasherbrum IV (7992m) and Mitre Peak
(6010m). Concordia is unquestionably one of
the most spectacular camping places on earth.
The trek generally follows good trails from the
village of Askole through a wilderness of
rugged valleys and towering peaks, the
scenery becoming gradually more impressive
as we work our way up the vast Baltoro
Glacier. A little lower but no less spectacular
are the sheer granite walls of the Trango
Towers and the shapely summit of
Masherbrum (7821m) and Chogolisa. Including
the option to walk from our camp at
Concordia to K2 Base Camp, this universally
acclaimed Karakoram trek is well within the
capabilities of keen hillwalkers.
K2 Base Camp And Gondogoro La - 5585m
We follow the same route as the Concordia
trek up the Baltoro Glacier but we continue
up past Broad Peak to K2 Base Camp where
we spend a night, allowing time to absorb the
unique atmosphere and environment
surrounding this unforgettable mountain. Our
return trek takes us over the spectacular
Gondogoro La, a dramatic high col that
affords further stunning views of the
Gasherbrum peaks. We purposefully cross
this pass in the early hours of the morning so,
given good weather, we are rewarded with a
tremendous golden sunshine in one of the
most dramatic places on earth. Our trek is one
of the few that actually camps overnight at
K2 Base Camp rather than a days walk away.
