TRIP OVERVIEW

Five Base Camp Treks – Journey to the Giants of the Karakoram & Himalayas

At Four Season Treks, we proudly present one of Pakistan’s most iconic trekking experiences: the Five Base Camp Treks, where adventurers explore the base camps of the country’s most legendary 8000m peaks — all in one grand journey. This expedition offers a rare opportunity to witness the raw power and stunning beauty of the Himalayas and Karakoram in a single itinerary.

Your adventure begins at Fairy Meadows, approaching the majestic Nanga Parbat (8126m) from the Raikot face. After this serene and forested start, the trek continues toward the dramatic Rupal Face from Tarishing — a remote village that opens the way to Nanga Parbat’s towering wall, one of the highest mountain faces on Earth.

From there, the journey shifts into the heart of the Karakoram — home to the highest concentration of 7000m and 8000m peaks in the world. Trek through the stunning Baltoro Glacier to Trango Towers, one of the world’s most iconic big wall climbing destinations. The final leg of this legendary trail leads you to Concordia, the majestic amphitheater where K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I and II rise like stone titans above the glacier.

This once-in-a-lifetime trek is a celebration of Pakistan’s greatest mountain wonders — blending nature, culture, and high-altitude adventure into one unforgettable experience.
