About

This is the trek most travellers searching for Pakistan are actually looking for. The route follows the Braldu valley from Askole onto the Baltoro Glacier, reaching Concordia: the junction where the Baltoro meets the Godwin-Austen glacier and four eight-thousand-metre peaks stand within sight of one camp.

It is a full camping expedition with twelve consecutive nights under canvas, supported by porters and a cook crew. Previous multi-day trekking experience above 4,000 m is required.

Before you book. Twelve nights are spent camping, and you should have prior multi-day trekking experience above 4,000 m. Skardu flights cancel often, so the road via Chilas is built in as a fallback and the itinerary shifts accordingly.
