1. Where is K2 Base Camp located?
➡️ K2 Base Camp is located in the Karakoram Range, in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, near the border with China. It lies at the foot of K2 (8,611m), the second-highest mountain in the world, and is reached via the Baltoro Glacier.
2. How high is the K2 Base Camp?
➡️ K2 Base Camp lies at an altitude of about 5,150 meters (16,896 feet) above sea level. It’s surrounded by legendary peaks like Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I & II, and of course, K2 itself.
3. How long does the K2 Base Camp trek take?
➡️ The standard K2 Base Camp trek takes around 14 to 20 days, depending on the route, acclimatization days, and weather. The classic route is Skardu → Askole → Concordia → K2 Base Camp → and back.
4. Is the K2 Base Camp Trek difficult?
➡️ Yes. It’s considered a challenging trek, not due to technical climbing, but because of high altitude, long walking days, and rocky glacier terrain. Good fitness, endurance, and prior trekking experience are highly recommended.
5. What is the best time for the trek?
➡️ The ideal trekking season is from late June to late August. This is when the weather is most stable, and the snow conditions allow access to the base camp and Concordia.
6. Do I need a permit for this trek?
➡️ Yes. The K2 Base Camp lies in a restricted area, so all trekkers — especially foreigners — must obtain:
A Trekking Permit (through a licensed tour operator)
Registration with the Ministry of Tourism
NOC (No Objection Certificate)
All documents are managed by Chogholingsa Trek & Tours Pakistan for a hassle-free experience.
7. Where does the trek start and end?
➡️ The trek usually starts with a jeep ride from Skardu to Askole, the last village. From there, the trek proceeds along the Baltoro Glacier toward Concordia and ends at K2 Base Camp, with a return along the same route.
Optional exit: Some trekkers descend via Gondogoro La Pass (5,585m) — a scenic but more demanding route.
8. What kind of accommodation is available?
➡️ This is a camping trek. You’ll be staying in tents each night. Our team provides sleeping tents, kitchen tents, mats, and all camping gear, with porters and cooks for support.
9. How many hours do we walk each day?
➡️ You’ll walk around 5 to 8 hours per day, depending on weather and trail conditions. Some days are longer, especially the final stretch to K2 Base Camp.
10. What are the main highlights of the trek?
➡️
Reaching the legendary Concordia, where five 7,000–8,000m peaks surround you
Stunning views of K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum, Trango Towers
Camping at Urdukas, Goro II, and Concordia
Crossing Baltoro Glacier, one of the world’s longest outside the poles
Experiencing the raw wilderness of the Karakoram
11. Is it safe to do the K2 Base Camp trek?
➡️ Yes, with proper preparation and experienced guides. The terrain is rough but not technically dangerous. Our staff carries first aid, altitude medication, and satellite communication for emergencies.

Trekking poles and a sturdy backpack
We provide group gear, food, tents, and safety equipment.
13. Can beginners join this trek?
➡️ Not recommended for first-time trekkers. You should have prior high-altitude trekking experience, and be in excellent physical condition. If you’re unsure, we suggest trying easier treks first, like Rush Lake, Rakaposhi BC, or Patundas.
14. Is there mobile signal or internet?
➡️ There is no mobile network after Askole. Satellite phones and Garmin devices are used for emergency comamunication. It’s the perfect time to disconnect from the world.
