What to Expect on the Trek
The Baltoro Glacier K2 Trek starts in the vibrant town of Skardu, where you’ll feel the warm hospitality of Pakistan’s northern region. From here, you’ll travel by jeep to the trek's starting point in Askole, the last inhabited village before the wilderness begins. As you ascend the glacier, you'll pass through scenic campsites such as Paiju, Urdukas, and Goro II, each offering mesmerizing views of the surrounding mountains.
Along the way, you’ll witness some of the most famous peaks in the world, including Broad Peak, Gasherbrum IV, and the Trango Towers.
