K-2 Circular Trek

The Karakoram's grand loop — Baltoro, Concordia and the Gondogoro La.

Overview

The Karakoram's ultimate circuit

The K-2 Circular Trek follows the classic Baltoro approach to Concordia, then breaks away from the crowds by crossing the 5,650m Gondogoro La into the Hushey Valley — a complete traverse of the greatest mountain amphitheatre on Earth.

From the top of the pass, four 8,000m peaks — K-2, Broad Peak and the two highest Gasherbrums — stand in a single panorama. The descent through Hushey's summer pastures is a gentle, green finale to a serious high-altitude journey.

  • Cross the 5,650m Gondogoro La with fixed-rope support
  • See K-2, Broad Peak and the Gasherbrums from one vantage
  • Traverse from the Baltoro into the Hushey Valley
  • A complete loop — no retraced steps after Concordia
