K2 (also known as Chhogori and Mount Godwin-Austen) is the second-highest mountain in the world. It is located in Shigar valley Baltistan, in the Gilgit–Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. Height of K2 is 8,611 m (28,251 feet). K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the extreme difficulty of ascent and the second-highest deth rate among the eight thousanders. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died trying. It is harder to reach K2 from the Chinese side, So, mostly climbed from the Pakistani side. K2 has never summit before 2020 in winter but luckily a Nepal group summit K2 in winter and make a world record. This expedition lead by a great man Nims Dai and David from Seven Summit.
K2 Base Camp Trek and Gondogoro La Trek gives great views of four 8,000m peaks and is thought by many to be one of the best high mountain treks in the world. Some of the wildest and most dramatic landscapes on earth are found in the vast, rugged Karakoram Range situated in Northern Pakistan. Remote and spectacular, the icy peaks and vast Glaciers of the Karakoram offer unparalleled opportunities for adventurous trekking. The 62km long Baltoro Glacier is Pakistan’s number one trekking destination. Seven of the world’s twenty-five highest peaks rise above this glacier, while the lower reaches are surrounded by some of the world’s highest granite walls and spires.
The Baltoro Glacier meets the Vigne and Godwin Austen glaciers at the huge natural amphitheater of Concordia. This is one of the most spectacular mountain campsites in the world. The huge pyramid of K2 (k2 base camp Altitude – 8,611 m) only 10km distant dominates the view and creates a very special atmosphere. Our programme allows three days in the upper reaches of the Baltoro Glacier to savour the majesty of this unique place. The highest point reached on this trek is the 5,650m summit of the Gondogoro La. This is a challenging and technical route, which links the high glacial basin of the upper Baltoro with the green Hushe Valley to the south. The view from the summit is one of the most overwhelming mountain panoramas in the world, with four of the Karakoram 8,000m peaks close at hand.
