This guide is written for travellers researching northern Pakistan. Conditions, access, prices and operational arrangements change, so use it as planning guidance and confirm details before departure.
Geography and mountain scenery
The Baltoro Glacier lies among some of the Karakoram’s highest peaks, with Concordia a renowned junction of major glaciers.
The approach from Askole
Askole is a common gateway for Baltoro expeditions. Beyond it, travel is generally on foot with camp-based logistics.
Camping and acclimatisation
The route involves several nights at increasing altitude. The itinerary should allow adequate time for rest and acclimatisation.
Protecting the glacier environment
Carry out waste, follow local environmental requirements and avoid unnecessary disturbance to fragile campsites.
