Track to K2 base camp Second highest Mountain Peak In the World.

Track to K2 base camp Second highest Mountain Peak In the World.

This is the one of the greatest treks in the world, unbeatable in terms of close up mountain views and proximity to many of the world’s highest peaks. On this track you literally walk past three of the world’s giants and for two nights camp right below K2, the second highest of them all. However this is tough but rewarding track, with many days being spent on the rugged, tumbled glacier as you head up to and beyond “Concordia” where the Baltoro and Godwin Austen glaciers converge in a beauty and simplicity of ice and rock.

Many tracking operators turn around here but adventure peaks talk you on up past broad peak to K2base camp where we spent a night allowing you time to absorb the unique atmosphere and environment surrounding this unforgettable mountain. The return to Askole is in a the same route, but it is surprising how, when facing the other direction, the mountains look very different. We allow plenty of spare days for contingency and acclimatization and in case of delays. The best weather is found during the period June to August when it is usually quite fair, dry and stable.
