Vigne Peak EXpedition
Overview â Vigne Peak Expedition
Vigne Peak Expedition is a journey amidst the Karakoram Mountains of Pakistan, Gilgit-Baltistan and its mighty white glaciers and grey-back rock to the heights of the magnificent Vigne Peak. The peak stands at a staggering 6,874 meters above the sea level and rises just above the Baltoro Glacier near Gasherbrum Massif.
It is part of the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan. The Karakorum Mountain Range is a massive chain of mountains across Pakistan and China that hosts one of the greatest mountains of the world including K2 and Gasherbrum. It is 500km long and 200km wide and connects with Hindukush and Himalaya Mountains at few points.
The best time for the ascent to the summit is during the Summers of Pakistan between May to August. After the expedition to the peak, one can trek towards Concordia which is sometimes called the âThrone Room of The Mountain Godsâ for the giant peaks that lie in the region or one can head back to Skardu which is considered one of the most beautiful locations in Pakistan for its green pastures and beautiful culture and heritage. The base camp is accessed from the nearby town of Skardu on jeep after a de-briefing and briefing at the tourism department. The trek goes through Baltoro glacier and from there divides towards the sub-range. Vigne Peak is surrounded by peaks over 5000m, 6000m and even 7000m that are one of the highest in the world.
Apricot Tour offers a complete package for the Vigne Peak Expedition and has all the requirements needed for a successful mission to the top of the summit. The services of this expedition include hotel booking, climbing permits, domestic flights, chefs, tour guides, visa assistance, porters, camping equipment, daily food, kitchen equipment & tools etc.
