Overview
Baltoro Trek 19 Days:
Baltoro trek is the most popular trekking holiday for foreign trekkers visiting Pakistan. This adventure is most commonly known as “K2 Base Camp Trek” as this walk on Baltoro glacier leads us to the base camp of K2. Including our classic K2 base camp trek.
Considered one of the top 10 treks in the world, K2 Base Camp Trek is a strenuous and demanding but yet rewarding trek. K2 Base Camp Trek is also known as Baltoro Glacier Trek and Baltoro Concordia Trek by mountaineering and trekking enthusiasts from around the world. The trek mainly involves walking along the lengths of Baltoro Glacier (63 km - world’s 5th longest non-polar glacier) and Godwin Austin Glacier. Accessible from Pakistan, the trek offers once in a lifetime experience for walking wanderers and nature admirers to spend time with the mighty mountains.
K2 Base Camp Trek offers the chance to witness 8,000 m peaks including Gasherbrum 2 (8,035 m), Broad Peak (8,051 m) and K2 (8,611 m). It also presents an opportunity to witness several other beautiful peaks between 5,000 to 8,000 meters. These peaks include Gasherbrum 3 and 4, Masherbrum, Mustagh Tower, Mitre Peak, Crystal Peak, Marbel Peak, Biale Peak, Lobsang Spire, Trango Towers, Uli Biaho, Cathedral Peak, Urdukas Peak etc.
At different stages of the trek, one is surrounded by massive glaciers including Biafo (world’s 3rd longest non-polar glacier - 67 km), Vigne, Godwin-Austen, Liligo, Dunge, Muztagh, Biango, Yermanendu, Mandu etc. Our trail will intersect streams and rivers including Panma, Braldu and Indus at different points.

Best Time to Baltoro & Gondogoro La Trek:
Travelling to these giant base camps has its on-peak and off-peak seasons. For ordinary tourists, the golden season to take a Mt. K2 tour would be in 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 individuals’ 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.
