An easy walking comparing to the last two days of trekking brings you closer to K2 with views of Gasherbrum peaks.
An easy day of trekking but the altitude increases brings you closer to K2 with views of Gasherbrum peaks. The views are mind-blowing on this as approaching to Concordia.
Visit K2 Base Camp, the iconic climbers’ destination, and return to Concordia. It is a hard day very few people do it like this way. I mostly recommend to have an extra day at Broad Peak Base Camp and go to K-2 Base Camp and return to Concordia.
