Meals Included: None
Accomodation: Hotel
a) Weather permitting, we take a spectacular flight to the high mountain region of Baltistan in the north east. On a clear day we should be able to see Nanga Parbat (8124m) and K2 (8611m) towering above all other mountains. (It is quite possible adverse weather in Islamabad or Skardu may affect our flight plans and make it necessary to drive by the Karakoram Highway to Skardu, a journey of approx two days).
b) In case of cancellation of flight drive 10-12hrs by air conditioned coach/car to Chilas (480km) on the Karakoram highway. Overnight at Shangrila Indus View Hotel or Panorama hotel.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accomodation: Hotel
a) Overnight in Hotel. Preparations for our trek and depending on our time of arrival into Skardu, there may be time to visit the town and possibly an excursion to Kachura Lake situated at the edge of the valley. Skardu is the regional capital of Baltistan, lying at the edge of a broad floodplain that is the confluence of the Shyok, Indus and Basha Rivers.
b) If we are driving the road journey today will be 7-8 hrs to Skardu (275km). On route are spectacular views of Nanga Parbat (8125m) overnight Hotel.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accomodation: Hotel
On the following day first we start a 2 hours journey by jeep on a spectacular road beside the Indus to the village of Khaplu. Beyond Khaplu we cross the Shyok River to begin an entertaining next four hour jeep ride up to Hushe, through a number of small and picturesque villages in the lower Hushe Valley. En route we must cross a number of ‘nullahs’ or small river valleys. These nullahs which are fed by snow melt-waters from the glaciers high above the valley, are often dry in the early morning but can become impassable by the afternoon as the hot sun goes to work. Hushe is the highest village in the area at 3100 metres (10,170 feet) and is the last permanent habitation until we reach Back to the same Village . We set up camp in a field just below the village with the huge bulk of Masherbrum dominating the valley to the north.
Meals Included: All Meals
Accomodation: Camp
A short day of about 4-6 hours takes us to the idyllic campsite at Saitcho. This camp lies at the junction of the Charakusa and Gondogoro valleys and is sited on a sandy, tree-shaded area beside a swift-flowing river. There are excellent views of Nameka, the rock pillars of K7 and from the trail leading to the camp there is a sighting of the impressive Charakusa Spire. Altitude at camp is 3350 metres (10,992 feet)
Meals Included: All Meals
Accomodation: Camp
Heading up alongside the Gondogoro Glacier now, we take a path on a wooded moraine ridge which climbs quite steeply to the seasonal goat-herder’s settlement at Gondogoro Village. Here, we stop for lunch, before dropping down onto the glacier for a scramble along its edge to bypass a section of steep rock. A final scramble up a rocky gulley leads to the very spectacular campsite at Dalsan (4150m. / 13,616ft.) where there are a couple of tiny lakes and staggering views of a range of rocky summits, culminating in the snow-plastered summit of Masherbrum. 5 hours walking
Meals Included: All Meals
Accomodation: Camp
Dropping down again onto the glacier, our path follows the centre of the ice river, sometimes walking on moraine and sometimes on snow and ice. We get our first views of the Gondogoro La at the head of the valley and pass the stunning spire of Layla Peak. A long day, walking beneath the beautiful spire of Layla Peak, takes us to the place called Huisprung (4600m/15090ft), a grassy terrace beside a small melt water lake. 5 to 6 hours walking

FAQs
The duration of the Climb can vary, but it typically takes around 14 to 17 days. This includes acclimatization days, trekking, and potential rest days.
The ideal season for Gondgoro Peak climb is during the summer months from June to September when the weather is more stable, and the passes are generally free of snow.
This climb is considered one of the easiest climbs in Karakoram and suitable for ages.
Since this is a trekking peak so climbing permit is not required. However, a trekking permit to enter the restricted areas along the trekking route is required. These permits are usually arranged by trekking agencies and should be obtained in advance.
While it's possible for experienced trekkers to attempt the climb independently, however this area falls into restricted zone and as per Government rules it is mandatory for all trekker/climbers to obtain trekking permit through a registered travel agency and travel with a licensed guide. Moreover, Guides are familiar with the terrain, and porters can help carry heavy loads, making the trek more manageable.
Proper trekking gear, including sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing, a good sleeping bag, and camping equipment, is essential. Additionally, equipment for high-altitude trekking, such as ice axes and crampons, may be required.
Accommodation is typically in tents during the trek, as the route goes through remote and uninhabited areas. Trekkers need to be prepared for camping in a variety of conditions.
Yes, altitude sickness is a concern due to the high elevations involved. Adequate acclimatization days are built into the itinerary, and trekkers should be aware of the symptoms and take necessary precautions.
We offer customized itineraries or combine the Gondogoro Peak climb with other treks in the region, allowing trekkers to explore additional areas of the Karakoram Range.
