The Ultimate Challenge
K2 Base Camp Trek (Baltoro Glacier)
Standing at Concordia and seeing K2 (8,611m), Broad Peak and the Gasherbrum peaks all at once is one of the most profound experiences on Earth. This is the world's most spectacular trek, not technically difficult, but long, remote and genuinely wild. The Baltoro Glacier is 63km of ice, rock and jaw-dropping mountain scenery.
