K2 Base Camp & Baltoro Glacier

The throne room of the mountain gods.

The classic 20-day trek from Askole to Concordia follows the Baltoro Glacier through what is often called the throne room of the mountain gods, a single valley ringed by four peaks over 8,000 metres, including K2 itself, the world's second-highest and most technically demanding major summit. Camping among glacial moraine with views that shift daily as new giants come into sight, this is serious, high-altitude trekking, and one of the most extraordinary mountain journeys anywhere on the planet.
