K2, Concordia and the Gondogoro Traveller Reviews

This is a tough, committing but potentially sublime experience of some of the finest mountain scenery on Earth. You will follow in the footsteps of famous expeditions, camp in outrageous wild locations, and hopefully have a chance to gaze upon the majesty of K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum, Masherbrum, the Trangos, Laila Peak, Paiju Peak and countless other vast and intricate citadels of snow and rock. This is a real adventure, with multiple flights and exciting off-road jeep journeys before you even start walking. If you are lucky, the awesome illumination of K2 and the other 8000m peaks by the rising sun as you cross the 5500m Gondogoro La pass will be a cherished moment that will engrave itself indelibly into your memory.

KE Adventure, and their superb ground agents (Baltistan tours) will look after your admirably. The team of porters and cooks are nothing short of supermen, and will keep you well fed and safe, even when things are getting tough. Booking with KE is straightforward, but not impersonal. They have an excellent range of adventurous holidays to choose from. You could spend an enjoyable lifetime working through their brochure.

The plan was to trek to Concordia/K2 basecamp/Gondogoro La. We got as far as Concordia and K2 basecamp but then had to turn around and trek back down the Boltoro Glacier due to severe weather and snow, rendering the pass uncrossable. Whilst a bit disappointing, this added to the adventure, as well as flights being cancelled and having to drive back to Islamabad via the Karakorum Highway. KE Adventures and the Trip Leader, Tom Richardson, handled the unexpected with ease and professional skill. IT WAS A FABULOUS ADVENTURE!!

KE Adventures is an excellent choice for this type of adventure. They are experts in Pakistan and have talented and experienced tour leaders. They have great relationships with local guides and operators.
