Landscapes of Northern Pakistan
The Mega Trekking adventure takes us on a journey through some of the most stunning peaks of Pakistan. Starting with a visit to Fairy Meadows & Nanga Parbat Base Camp from Raikot Glacier, we witness the beauty of Nanga Parbat, the second-highest peak in Pakistan. From there, we move on to Concordia, known as “the Throng Room of Mountain Gods,” and hike to K-2 and Gasherbrum base camps. Our trek concludes with a hike to Gondogoro La (5450m), the most popular and frequently used high pass in the Karakoram. This pass offers the most overwhelming and extraordinary view of K-2, Broad Peak, G-I, G-II, G-III, G-IV, Masherbrum, & Chogolisa if the weather favors. The Mega Trekking is a journey that will leave you awestruck with the beauty of the region.
Gondogoro La (5450m), established in 1986, is a challenging and technical pass that connects Concordia and the upper Baltoro Glacier to the beautiful Hushe Valley. This pass offers an alternate route to return from Concordia, making it equally famous among trekkers and climbers. If the weather favors, the high pass provides the most overwhelming and extraordinary view of K-2, Broad Peak, G-I, G-II, G-III, G-IV, Masherbrum, & Chogolisa, besides many other peaks and glaciers in the region. The Mega Trekking adventure takes you deep into the stunning Karakoram Mountains and leaves you with memories for a lifetime.
