Having just a view of K-2 required three days of walking. Baltistan Tours have developed an itinerary to have the glimpse of the mighty mountain just after two days walk from the town of Machulu.
Strarting the Trek from Machulu Village, a distant view point for Masherbrum peak (7821m), from there a gradual ascend of two days will bring us to the summer pastures. Upper portions of the valley are dotted with shepherd hunts, raising cows, goats and yaks. If you are fortunate enough you might have a sight of ibex and other wild life. Once on the top you will be able to see all the big four peaks, K-2, Gashebrums and Broad peaks.
