Gondogoro trek 5: Twelve kilometers between Goro II. camp and Concordia by air equal more than six hours long walk along the glacier covered with a layer of rubble. But the expended effort is in good weather rewarded by beautiful views of the local giants, glacial formations and vision of amazing sunset in Concordia.

Small glacial pyramids

Several meters high nice ice pyramids protruding from rubble field begin to appear over time.

Muztag Tower (7273 m asl)

Even in the side valleys there are nice mountains to see, such as a little inconspicuous and unknown, but 91st highest mountain in the world – Muztag Tower.

Carriers

Unbelievably hard carriers belong to the local atmosphere. Everyone must admire their incredible stamina, knowledge of the terrain and also lousy equipment in comparison with western tourists.

Dramatic Karakoram

Each of these views can serve as a convincing excuse to stop and take a deep breath :-)

Eight-thousands in sight

Massive Broad Peak (8047 m asl) begins to emerge slowly and with it the prospect of the approaching end of this unexpectedly long stage of the trek.
