The hike to BC under one of the world's most difficult mountains K2 in Karakoram is the most famous side trip of the Gondogoro trek. You will approach the mountain, which is a magnet not only for climbing expeditions but also for trekkers who want to look under this legendary mountain.

Concordia

The trek to BC K2 itself begins in Concordia, a famous base for trekkers. On all sides it is possible to see the beautiful peaks of the mountains, many of which are a bit forgotten by climbers. Miter Peak rises as painted at the camp. This will serve us as an excellent point on the way back.
