A Karakoram Hidden Treasure

Tucked deep within the Shigar Valley of Baltistan, Susbon Brakk is one of the most breathtaking and lesser-known peaks of the Karakoram Range. Towering dramatically above glaciers and high mountain pastures, this peak offers a remote and rewarding trekking experience for those seeking something beyond the well-trodden routes.

The journey to Susbon Brakk Base Camp begins from Chakpo Village in the Braldo Valley, Shigar. This is a land of pristine beauty, where traditional Balti culture thrives, and massive rock walls guard the way to the upper valleys. Few trekking groups venture here, making it an ideal destination for adventurers who crave solitude in the mountains.
