Throne Room of the Mountain Gods

Deosai, K2 Basecamp and Gondogoro-la

Pakistan Highlights

The experience of this trip is hard to describe in words; a physical challenge and a spiritual nature retreat, this is one trip you will never forget! 

Aptly described as ‘the throne room of the mountain Gods’, Concordia, the innermost sanctum of the Karakoram has possibly the most spectacular mountain scenery anywhere in the world. The jeep now goes all the way to Jhola, reducing the trek duration by two days.

Your K2 basecamp trek is guaranteed to be exclusive. We only run our tours a few times a year, limit the number of clients and provide the best service possible whether you are on the trek or relaxing at the hotel. This means your experience is immersive, authentic, and well-supported.

We take care of all the details—from visa support to equipment, quality accommodations, and mouthwatering meals.

Duration: 21 days

Departure Dates: June - September

Non-refundable Deposit $100

Trip Highlights

 
Concordia

Concordia

Concordia, the joining of five glaciers, is an immense sea of ice covered in stone. In every direction, the views here are stunning, K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum, Mitre Peak, Chogolisa and Sia Kangri are all prominent, along with dozens of smaller peaks.

K2 Basecamp

K2 Basecamp

We will hike 4-6 from Concordia to K2 basecamp, passing Broadpeak basecamp on the way. Here we will spend night under this incredible mountain.

Most other operators organize K2 Base Camp trek with their highest camp at Concordia and this means a very long walk from Concordia to K2 Base Camp and back to Concordia in one day.

Godogoro-La

Godogoro-La

Gondogoro-La 5585m(18,323ft) is the pass that links Baltoro with Hushe Valley. This is a roped non-technical ascent. If we are lucky at the top you will see all the high peaks of Baltoro and Hushe including four above 8000m.

Is this Trip for you?

This is a challenging trek. We will spend a lot of time walking on rocks and scree which cover the Baltoro. The trip is completely self supported by our crew as there are no facilities on the glacier, which makes it very difficult to leave the trek should you find yourself struggling. The campsites of Goro I, Concordia and Ali camp are on the glacier. However, we won’t be walking on ice; crossing Gondogoro-la is the only technical part of the trek. We will usually walk 6-8 hours a day at an easy pace with plenty of opportunity for rest. 

This should not be your first multi-day, high altitude trek. You should be physically fit for the challenge (see our fitness guide). Your familiarization with the joys of multi-day camping will make this trip enjoyable.
