Trekking in the Karakoram Mountains is a wonderful experience, but
trekking to Concordia is a journey of a lifetime. Baltoro, home of
hundreds of peaks, also homes four 8000 meter peaks: K-2 (8611m)
(Mountain of Mountains), Broad Peak (8047m), Gasherbrum-I (8068m), and
Gasherbrum-II (8035m). The trek is located in the heart of the mighty
Karakoram and offers breathtaking views of snow-caped mountains. Galen
Rowell described Concordia as the "throne room of the mountain gods".
We have a special day free at Concordia to explore the hidden beauty
of these panoramic peaks or the same day can be used to visit K-2 Base
Camp if you are fit enough to go & come back.
The fascinating view
around the Concordia is a superb. Trek is bit strenuous and is
recommended for good trekkers. The journey to giant Baltoro begins at
Skardu, the capital town of Baltistan, a beautiful town with good
tourist class hotels. One-way flight back to Islamabad over the great
Himalayas and Karakorams, gives awe-inspiring views of Nanga Parbat
and many other mountains. Even if you miss flight you will have a stop
to seek Nanga Parbat on way to Skardu.
This trek requires a good degree of physical fitness, as the variable
weather conditions make the crossing of pass quite challenging, but
more rewarding too. It is recommended that the trek may be started
from, Askole as the group can reach up to Concordia being able to see
major Baltoro Peaks and, return the same route
