From the Islamabad airport to Skardu city, trekking to K2 Base Camp is probably one of the most amazing experiences on earth. Following a brief flight, the walk takes place overland from Skardu to Askole, where it passes through beautiful villages, glaciers, and mountains.
After passing through Jhola, Paiyu, Urdukas, and Goro II, trekkers reach Concordia, also known as the "Throne Room of the Mountain Gods." You must hike up to 5150 meters straight to reach the K2 Base Camp. It should take 12 to 15 days to complete the journey.
This route has views of famous glaciers such as Baltoro and Godwin-Austen and sights of huge peaks such as Broad Peak. It also gives a glimpse of local lifestyle and culture. Though physically demanding, the trek offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences and mind-blowing landscapes.
