The incredible, memorable, and yet challenging journey to the second highest mountain of the world begins from the small village of Askoli at the end of the jeep road from Skardu. It is the most popular trek in the heart of Karakoram Mountain Range in Baltistan Pakistan. Concordia is a glacial basin at the convergence of the Baltoro and Godwin-Austen glaciers. The views from Concordia are mythical. Karakoram is home to the most dense collection of highest peaks to be found anywhere on earth, including K.2 the second highest of the world (8611m), Gasherbrum-I (8,068m), Broad Peak (8,047m) and Gasherbrum-II (8,035m) sits within a short radius of 15 Kilometers, stand 41 peaks over 6500 meters from Concordia. The 360view offers a panorama of peaks nowhere to be found on this Earth.
It is a wonderful trek that provides an awesome journey through the mighty range, peaks, wilderness and glaciers leading to the base camp of K.2. The views are impressive, but the best views waits only for those who can reach Concordia. It is important to train your body and mind to endure constant physical and mental stress during the trek. The task is extremely difficult and you will experience it firsthand, so training yourself physically and mentally for the adventure should be your first priority. The walk on the Baltoro glacier provides one with ultimate mountain scenery with such well known mountains as Masherbrum (7821 m.), Uli Biaho Tower (6190m.), Trango Towers (6300m.), Grand Cathedral (5228m) Muztagh Tower (7273) Chogolisa (7654m), and Mitre Peak (6038 m.). Indeed, as Galen Rowell described Concordia as the “throne room of the mountain Gods.”
