Best Time to Baltoro & Gondogoro La Trek:
Traveling to these giant base camps has its on-peak and off-peak seasons. For ordinary tourists, the golden season to take an Mt. K2 tour would be from June to October. At these times of the year, the skies are clearer, with very few days where visibility is even slightly limited.
There is very little rain and snow, and daytime temperatures, while not the hottest in the year, are well above freezing, and quite comfortable for trekking and touring the region. Although, you will still need some warm clothes for the nights, which can still get quite cold.
However, tours to K2 can be arranged at any time of year, given an individual’s unique preference. As long as you are not a professional mountaineer with a particular time frame to summit the mountain, K2 Base Camp welcomes you whenever you come.

We might walk on snow in Baltoro glacier’s higher part in June and this snow normally melts by mid-July. In August and September, you might experience snowfall depending on how the weather turns out. Temperatures in the Karakoram Range are unpredictable. The temperature might decrease down to -10 °C during any time of all trekking periods while camping anywhere between Paiju and Concordia.

However, due to past experience with unpredictable weather, we must be prepared for unfavorable weather conditions.
