Trek under the second highest mountain in the world
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.
From Concordia
From Concordia we continue to the left of Gasherbrum 4 towards Broadpeak, another attraction for climbers.
Looking back towards Concordia
Here we can see the intersection of the two Baltoro and Godwin-Austen glaciers.
Marble peak
On the opposite side towards Broadpeak we can see Marble peak 6256m
Broadpeak

On the way to BC, make a detour to the K2 Memorial, a memorial to all climbers who did not climb to the top of K2 or Broadpeak. There are parts of the equipment, commemorative plaques.
