K2 rising above Concordia on the K2 Base Camp trek in Pakistan
18 to 21 days (14 days trekking) Strenuous

K2 Base Camp Trek Pakistan

The K2 Base Camp trek walks the length of the Baltoro Glacier to Concordia and the foot of K2 (8,611 m). It is the classic Karakoram adventure and the trip most foreign trekkers ask us about first.

Trekkers on the Gondogoro La pass with K2 and Broad Peak behind
19 to 22 days (15 days trekking) Very strenuous

K2 Base Camp and Gondogoro La Trek

This is the advanced version of the K2 trek. Instead of retracing the Baltoro, you cross the Gondogoro La (5,585 m) for a sunrise panorama of K2, Broad Peak and the Gasherbrums, then descend into the Hushe valley.

Upper Kachura Lake near Skardu in Baltistan, Pakistan
7 to 9 days Easy

Real feedback from international travellers who trekked and toured with us across northern Pakistan.

The logistics were flawless from Islamabad to Concordia. Our guide read the weather perfectly and the porters were superb. Standing under K2 is something I will never forget.
James United Kingdom · K2 Base Camp Trek
As a solo female traveller I felt safe and looked after the whole time. Hunza was greener and friendlier than I imagined, and Fairy Meadows was pure magic.
Sarah United States · Hunza and Fairy Meadows Tour
A serious trek run by people who clearly know the Karakoram. Camps were well organised, food was excellent and the acclimatisation plan was spot on.
Thomas Germany · Baltoro Glacier Trek
We wanted mountains without a hard trek and this was ideal. Lakes, forts, Deosai and brilliant local hospitality. Easy to book over WhatsApp too.
Emily Australia · Skardu Tour Package
My first 7,000-metre peak and the support was exactly what I needed. Strong crew, safe decisions and a summit I had dreamed about for years.
Marc Canada · Spantik Peak Expedition
Short, stunning and beautifully organised. Waking up to Nanga Parbat from the meadows was worth every step. Highly recommend PMC for a first Pakistan trek.
Louise France · Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trek

Is Pakistan Safe for Foreign Tourists and Trekkers?

The northern trekking regions of Pakistan, Gilgit-Baltistan and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, are among the calmest and most hospitable places in the country for foreign visitors. Safety here is far more about mountains and roads than about security.

Best Time to Trek in Pakistan: A Month-by-Month Guide

The high Karakoram treks like K2 Base Camp have a short, precious window from roughly late June to mid September. Lower valleys such as Hunza reward a longer season, including a stunning spring and autumn.
