About This Tour
K2 (8,611m) is the second-highest mountain on Earth and widely regarded as the most difficult and dangerous of all the 8,000-metre peaks. Known as the "Savage Mountain," it rises as a near-perfect pyramid of rock, ice, and snow from the heart of the Karakoram Range in Gilgit-Baltistan.
The K2 Base Camp Trek takes you along the legendary Baltoro Glacier — one of the longest glaciers outside the polar regions — to Concordia, the extraordinary junction where the Baltoro and Godwin-Austen glaciers meet, surrounded on all sides by four of the world's fourteen 8,000-metre peaks.
From Concordia, the trek continues up the Godwin-Austen Glacier to K2 Base Camp at approximately 5,150 metres. Standing at the foot of K2's south face, you witness the mountain that has fascinated and challenged the world's greatest mountaineers since the first attempts in 1902.
Highlights
- Stand at the foot of K2 (8,611m) — the world's most formidable mountain
