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.
