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.

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.

The Hunza Valley is the friendliest introduction to northern Pakistan: ancient forts, turquoise Attabad Lake, the Passu Cones and the Karakoram Highway to the China border, all at a gentle, scenic pace.

This tour pairs the orchards and forts of Hunza with the alpine meadows below Nanga Parbat (8,126 m). It is the most popular way to see the highlights of northern Pakistan in a single journey.

This short, scenic trek climbs from the pine meadows of Fairy Meadows to the Raikot-side base camp of Nanga Parbat (8,126 m), one of the most accessible views of an 8,000-metre giant anywhere.

Skardu is the staging town for every Karakoram expedition, but it is a superb destination in its own right: alpine lakes, cold deserts, ancient forts and the road to the Deosai Plains.

Trusted by travellers
Real feedback from international travellers who trekked and toured with us across northern Pakistan.
For climbers
Full-service logistics for serious peaks. See every Pakistan mountaineering expedition.

K2 (8,611 m) is the second-highest and most serious of the 8,000-metre peaks. We provide full Pakistan-side logistics: permits, base camp, high-altitude porters and support for your summit attempt via the Abruzzi Spur.

Spantik (7,027 m), the Golden Peak, is widely recommended as a first 7,000-metre climb: high and glaciated but non-technical by its southeast ridge, with full logistics from our team.

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.
Read the guideThe 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.
Read the guideAlmost every foreign trekker enters Pakistan on a tourist e-visa supported by a Letter of Invitation from a licensed local operator. The process is online and reasonably smooth once you understand the sequence.
Read the guidePacking for a Pakistan high-altitude trek means preparing for summer sun and sub-freezing nights in the same day, on terrain with no shops to fix your mistakes. Layering and solid boots matter most.
