Gasherbrum is a remote group of high peaks in the Karakoram, located at the northeast end of the 36-mile Baltoro glacier. Mt.G-I is regarded as a bit more challenging than Mt. G-II. Mt. G-II (8035m/ 26362ft) is the 13th highest mountain in the world. G-I and G-II are the most remote 8,000m peaks

The route of GI’s base camp starts from Skardu. First of all, you will come across the valley of Shigar and then Baltoro glacier. After checking out the amazing views of these places, you will reach the GI’s base camp. The time of climbing starts from the month of June and ends in August.

Gasherbrum II (8,034m) is the 13th-highest peak in the world. It is located in the second-highest mountain range in the world which is known as the Karakoram. On 7th July 1956, three Austrians got successful in climbing this huge mountain. These Austrians included Hans Willenpart, Josef Larch and Fritz Moravec. This peak is too rocky and icy to climb. The proficient mountaineers can climb GII if they will use technical skills

K2 or chogori world second highest peak 8611m in the world and highest peak in pakistan.K2 is part of the Karakoram Range, and is located on the border between Baltistan, in the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China

The first ascent on K2 was made by 11 mountaineers, 500 posters and 6 scientists in the year of 1954. One of the mountaineers died because of pneumonia after facing the powerful storm for forty days. The final climb was made by two team members when their oxygen supply got finished. They made an emergency descent in darkness.

K2 has notation of the assessor. The alphabet K of K2 stands for Karakoram while 2 means the second highest mountain ranked. T.G. Montgomery is the surveyor who named K2 in the year of 1856. Since then, people started calling this mountain as K2. The Balti people living in Skardu and its surroundings call it Ketu. In 1954, there was a summit about K2. According to the commentary on Italian expedition in that summit, the height of K2 is 8611 meters. Later, it was proved by Lacedelli and Compagnoni who had enough oxygen after reaching the peak of K2. There were many myths about K2 yet all of them were dispelled by a famous mountaineer Walter Bonatti. Bonatti explained everything about K2 in his latest edition known as “The Mountains of My Life” and short book called “Trial on K2”.

Nanga parbat 8126m is the ninth highest mountain in the world and second highest peaks of pakistan. First, we will drive to Chillas from Islamabad using the Karakoram Highway. There will be 4 jeeps that will take us to the Tarashing or Tato villages. From there, we will do some walking towards our next camp.

It will be an unforgettable experience when you will camp under the Nanga Parbat. It feels like sleeping beauty. We will have enough time to climb to the peaks base camp and check out the viewpoints. The next part of our trip is dependent around the capital of Hunza known as Karimabad. It is an attractive place for sure. We will choose our hikes and excursions days after reaching the capital to see a range of wonders. These wonders include the bazaar at Gilgit and Utar Icefall.

We will be trekking on the good trails. We will walk to the Fairy Meadows that is quite even. However, the optional day of climbing to the base camp of Nanga Parbat will be a long day for you. The trekking will take time. Likewise, another trekking day will be longer when you will hike above the Hunza’s capital Karimabad to the meadows under Ultar. The climb is pretty steep and will be the most challenging part of the tour. It is not a continuous trek as we will have enough time to take rest and enjoy the landscape.
