K2 ghondogoro la trek(pakistan)

The trek to K2 is one of the worlds classics. It is a demanding journey and trek to Concordia, the meeting place of the Godwin-Austen and upper Baltoro glacier, is not one to be undertaken lightly. For most of its length one is walking through uninhabited areas where it is essential to be well prepared for any eventuality, and the trail itself is constantly shifting, depending on the whim of the weather and glacial action. There are numerous streams and tributaries to be crossed, loose scree slopes, and obstructions to be overcome or circumvented. But for those willing to take the slight risks, the rewards are immense. From the top of Gondogoro Pass (5700 m) one can see all the prominent mountains of Shigar Valley and Hushey Valley. Reckoned amongst the great treks of the world, walking to Concordia takes one past ten of the World's thirty tallest peaks - and what peaks ! The Karakoram range is characteristically wild and jagged, with towering pinnacles of rock hung with shining ice-covered walls; this is the most glaciated region on earth outside the polar regions, and one is constantly reminded of this while walking up the Baltoro glacier.
