An exciting circular trek starting from the Hushe Valley across the Gondogoro La (5585 M) to Concordia and continuing over the Baltoro Glacier to Askole is one of the finest high mountain experiences on earth. No other trek can equal the panorama of K2 (8611M), Broad Peak (8047M), the Gashabrums, Golden Throne and Chogolisa, that unfolds in clear weather. (Other companies offer this trip by walking up the Baltoro glacier on the approach to the Gondogoro La, but we believe that our itinerary, starting out in Hushe, provides a much safer and more logical direction to complete this circuit). En-route Gondogoro BC we find alpine meadow campsites and range upon range of starkly beautiful rock peaks. Before crossing the Pass, we acclimatize in the delightful Gondogoro valley above Hushe where one has the option to make an ascent of the Gondogoro peak.
