High Altitude Porters

We can give you the best and most experienced high-altitude porters of Baltistan who all are prepared to work for this agency. Some of them have climbed K 2, most of them have reached the summits of Broad Peak, G I and G II at least once

.

At present, the best high-altitude porters come from the Khapulu area and from the village of Satpara near Skardu. The probably strongest of them all is Little Hussain. He was among the high-altitude porters who helped to carry down the body of Markus Kronthaler from the summit of Broad Peak in summer 2007
