Gasherbrum II, standing as the 13th highest peak globally, is nestled near K2 and Broad Peak in Pakistan's Karakoram range. Known for being the most accessible and safest of the 8,000-meter peaks in the Karakoram, Gasherbrum II is part of the larger Gasherbrum massif, sharing the same base camp. Adventurers can also attempt Gasherbrum I-II by paying an extra royalty fee. For years, Trango Adventures has been facilitating Gasherbrum II expeditions for mountaineers. Our 50-60 day expeditions prioritize safety, acclimatization, and enjoyment. We provide logistics support up to or above the base camp for both private and solo expeditions. The duration can be adjusted based on your schedule, weather conditions, and climbing experience. You can opt for our standard itinerary or have a customized plan tailored by our travel advisor to meet your needs. The journey begins in Islamabad, the nearest international airport to the Karakoram. Upon arrival, our representative will greet you and transfer you to the group hotel. After resting from your flight, we will have a detailed briefing over dinner about your Gasherbrum II Expedition. The next day, you'll take a stunning 45-minute flight to Skardu, offering breathtaking views of Nanga Parbat, K2, and other majestic peaks. Skardu serves as the gateway to many famous Karakoram mountains and is where you will make final preparations for the expedition. After two days in Skardu, you will travel along the Indus, Shigar, and Braldu Rivers to reach Askoli, the last village before the Karakoram wilderness. From Askoli, the trek begins, leading you to the Baltoro glacier and onward to Concordia, renowned for its spectacular views of K2 and Broad Peak. The Gasherbrum II base camp is a 5-6 hour trek from Concordia, situated below the Conway Saddle, the initial route to the major Karakoram peaks. Your climb starts from the Gasherbrum II base camp, where our experienced mountain guide, chef, and support staff will assist you throughout your stay. After completing the climb, you will follow the same route back to Islamabad. Alternatively, you can return via the 5,600-meter Gondogoro La and the Hushe Valley, returning to Skardu for a flight back to Islamabad, weather permitting. Finally, we will transfer you to the airport for your flight home. With four decades of experience and a highly skilled team, Trango Adventures ensures a seamless and successful Gasherbrum II Expedition.
