Overview

K-2 Classic (Baltoro-Concordia K-2 Base Camp Trek) This trek leads into the heart of the Karakoram, the “throne room of the mountain goods“ (Galen Rowell), “the most marvellous mountain landscape on earth“ (G.O. Dyhrenfurth). Getting to Concordia (about 70 km) takes about 7 or 8 days, getting back to Askole maybe 5 or 6 days. Trekkers have to walk between 3 and 7 hours a day.
From Askole, the path first runs along the Braldo river, until shortly after Payu the Baltoro glacier is reached. After crossing the glacier, you follow it on its true left side until you get to Urdukas, a flower meadow from where you have a unique view of the surrounding mountains (Broad Peak, Trango Towers, Uli Biaho, Cathedral, among others). From then on you stay on the Baltoro which for the most part is covered with debris so that you hardly ever walk on ice.

The scenery gets more and more breath-taking: wherever you look, giant rock and ice pyramids, of which Masherbrum, Muztagh Tower and Gasherbrum IV are the highest and the most striking, tower up. Having reached Concordia, you can admire K 2 in all its majesty.If you have time you can walk from here to K 2 base camp on the Godwin Austen Glacier, or to the base camp of Gasherbrum I and II on the Abruzzi Glacier, from where you get a grand view of those 8000 metre peaks as well as of Chogolisa and Baltoro Kangri (Golden Throne).

Why Choose the K2 Base Camp Trek?
