K2 Expedition
Mount K2 (8611m) is the second-highest peak in the world and the highest peak in Pakistan. Mount K2 is also known as CHOGORI which in the Balti language means the king of mountains. Mt. K2 has variously been described as an “awesome”, ” Killer” and “Savage” Mountain. Just because of the massiveness of its size and unsuccessful multiple attempts made on it by various expedition parties. K2 is a rocky mountain up to 6000-m, beyond this it becomes an ocean of snow. K2, 8611m is situated on the Pakistan-China border in the mighty Karakorum. The traditional route to its base camp goes from Skardu Baltistan which is linked with Islamabad by Karakoram Highway as well as by air. From Skardu, the route goes via Shigar-Dassu-Askole up to Concordia over the Baltoro Glacier. To the summit, we use the safest route and i.e ABRUZZI route. Even though these routes have become common, we are very familiar with the steep snow slopes and difficult rock parts.
The base camp for K2 is located on the Baltoro Glacier, which is a popular trekking route in the region. The trek to the base camp starts from the town of Skardu, which can be reached by a flight from Islamabad or by a long drive from Gilgit.
The climbing season for K2 is from June to August, which is the peak climbing season in the region. Climbers need to be well-prepared for extreme weather conditions, as the mountain is located in a high-altitude and remote area. The climb to the summit of K2 is challenging and technical, with steep and exposed sections, and requires a high level of climbing skills and experience.

The climb requires a high level of physical and mental fitness, and climbers need to be able to cope with the extreme altitude and harsh weather conditions.
Despite the challenges, K2 is a popular destination for climbers who are drawn to its beauty and the sense of adventure that comes with climbing one of the highest and most difficult mountains in the world.
