K2 Base Camp and Gondogoro La Trek


Overview 

This is 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 trek 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 a tough but rewarding trek, with many days being spent on the rugged, tumbled glacier as you head up to and beyond ‘Concordia’ where the Baltoro and the Godwin-Austen glaciers converge in a beauty and simplicity of ice and rock.
