Duration: 33 days
Camping Nights: 26 days
Hotel Nights: 6 days
Maximum Altitude: 5,850m
Trek Status: Strenuous
Best Season: June - Aug
Trek zone: Restricted
Location: Karakoram
A combination of our established Gondogoro La, K2, and Snow Lake treks, this 5-week expedition must rank as the ultimate Karakoram challenge, which starts from the south-east at Hushe and ends in Nagar/Hunza to the north-west. Starting from the Hushe Valley, we cross the Gondogoro pass (5,850m) into Concordia, where we allow time to visit K2 Base camp before setting off down the Baltoro Glacier to the snout of the Biafo Glacier.
From where we follow the excellent Snow Lake route over the Hispar La (5151 M) into Nagar/Hunza. This is a sustained and strenuous high-level adventure in a remote location, with more of the feeling and logistics of an expedition than a trek. The trek is tough, though, but the reward is greater.
