After some time exploring K2 and Broad peak Base Camps, we'll visit Gasherbrum I & II base camps followed by a challenging trek out over the Gondogoro La pass before descending down the beautiful Hushe Valley.

On arrival, where you will be meet the AMT staff member at Islamabad International Airport and transferred to hotel You will meet your guide in the afternoon at the hotel for a trip briefing and gear check.
Day 2 Flight to Skardu or drive to Chilas
On this day we have two option (A) The plan is for our whole group to catch an early morning flight to Skardu (55 minutes), the largest city in Baltistan. If the weather is clear, we can catch some truly incredible views of Nanga Parbat and other massive peaks in the area. Once in Skardu guests will have free time throughout the day to rest and to explore the city and the bazaar. Today, we will finalize our trekking permits at the local government office and have dinner together as a group. Over dinner, you will be properly introduced to your trekking staff.or (B) If we are unable to take our flight on the morning of day two, it is possible that we will have to drive overland to Skardu from Islamabad (20,22 hours). This journey is long journey on road travel to KKH. AMT staff will evaluate what the best options are for the group and go from there. Flying is obviously the best case scenario! To break up the drive, we would sleep in Chilas for the night before pushing on to Skardu the next day.
Day 3 Rest or Preparation Day 2,498 m
Today, the AMT team is busy food shopping and packing all of the group supplies. Guests have free time in the city during the morning and early afternoon.

As of 2021, jeep road has been extended and able to reach till Jhula camp site. The journey from Skardu takes between 9 and 10 hours depending on road conditions. which means we can now start the trek from Jhula camp instead of Askoli – which saves us a day of hot, dusty trekking on the road.

K2 Base Camp is one of the world’s great treks. It has breathtaking scenery unsurpassed anywhere else in the high mountains. K2 Base Camp & Concordia trek is a high altitude walk where you ascend and descend the Baltoro glacier.
How does K2 Base Camp trek compare with K2 &GondogoroLa?
Both treks follow the Baltoro glacier to K2 Base Camp. The difference between these itineraries is that the K2 & GondogoroLa trip crosses the high pass after Concordia. A less Mountaineering experience is helpful for a safe crossing. We send an experienced Guide withthe group, also there are already a rescue members from Hushe village, they will taking care for members & porters while ascending and descending. Whereas the K2 Base Camp & Concordia group will walk back down the Baltoro glacier with a local guide. Both groups will meet after their treks in Skardu and then travel back together to Islamabad.
How does Snow Lake compare with K2 Base Camp trek?
K2 Base Camp & Concordia is a more popular trek with a larger number of other groups. Whereas Snow Lake & Hispar La is more remote and has a far fewer number of other trekkers. The scenery is impressive on both of these treks. K2 Base Camp trek has higher mountains including views of four 8,000m summits. Snow Lake trek has views of Kanjut Sar (7,760m), Distaghil Sar (7,885 m) and Makrong Chhish (6,607m). There is the Latok group (Latok I: 7,145m, Latok II: 7,108 m, Latok III: 6,949m, Latok IV: 6,456m) and Baintha.
How do i get the nearest Airport for K2 region of Pakistan ?
