K2 Gondogoro La Trek 2026- 2027 Saltoro Summits

The K2 Gondogoro La Trek is one of the most breathtaking adventures in the Karakoram Range. Combining the legendary K2 Base Camp trek with the thrilling Gondogoro La Pass (5,585m) crossing, this journey offers unmatched panoramas of four 8,000m giants: K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I & II. Unlike the standard return via the Baltoro Glacier, Gondogoro La provides a circular route, rewarding trekkers with stunning sunrise views and a descent into the beautiful Hushe Valley. This trek is ideal for experienced trekkers who want to experience the Karakoram at its most spectacular.

Preparing for the Challenge

Success on this trek begins long before you arrive in Pakistan. Good fitness, strong legs, and a positive mindset are as important as reliable gear. We recommend starting your preparation at least eight weeks before departure, focusing on endurance hikes, stair climbing, and balance training. Carrying a moderate pack during practice walks helps you get used to the demands of glacier travel. With thoughtful preparation and our experienced guides beside you, even the toughest sections of the Gondogoro La will feel achievable.
