TRIP OVERVIEW

Conquer the Savage Mountain – K2 Expedition in Pakistan

Embark on the ultimate high-altitude challenge with our K2 Expedition – a 60-day journey that takes you deep into the heart of the Karakoram Range. Standing tall at 8,611 meters, K2 is the second-highest mountain in the world, revered by climbers as the most difficult and dangerous 8000m peak to summit. Often called the “Savage Mountain”, its unforgiving ridges, isolated pyramid-shaped summit, and extreme weather make it the holy grail of mountaineering.

This expedition begins and ends in Islamabad, offering unguided access up to Base Camp, with a focus on autonomy for seasoned climbers. With 40 climbing days, 14 nights of camping, and a total of 60 days, this adventure is designed for elite alpinists seeking to test their skills on the most prestigious peak in the Karakoram.

K2 dominates the sky above Concordia, the confluence of the Baltoro Glacier, rising 12,000 feet above the ice field in a surreal display of power and beauty. This is not just a climb — it’s a legacy.
