| Trekking
in the Karakoram Mountains is a wonderful experience, but
trekking to Concordia is a journey of a lifetime. Baltoro,
home of hundreds of peaks, also homes four 8000 meter peaks:
K-2 (8611m) (Mountain of Mountains), Broad Peak (8047m), Gasherbrum-I
(8068m), and Gasherbrum-II (8035m). The trek is located in
the heart of the mighty Karakoram and offers breathtaking
views of snow-caped mountains. Galen Rowell described Concordia
as the "throne room of the mountain gods". We have
a special day free at Concordia to explore the hidden beauty
of these panoramic peaks or the same day can be used to visit
K-2 Base Camp if you are fit enough to go & come back.
The fascinating view around the Concordia
is a superb. Trek is bit strenuous and is recommended for
good trekkers. The journey to giant Baltoro begins at Skardu,
the capital town of Baltistan, a beautiful town with good
tourist class hotels. One-way flight back to Islamabad over
the great Himalayas and Karakorams, gives awe-inspiring views
of Nanga Parbat and many other mountains. Even if you miss
flight you will have a stop to seek Nanga Parbat on way to
Skardu.
This trek requires a good degree of physical
fitness, as the variable weather conditions make the crossing
of pass quite challenging, but more rewarding too. It is recommended
that the trek may be started from, Askole as the group can
reach up to Concordia being able to see major Baltoro Peaks
and, return the same route.
