K2 Expedition Pakistan
The K2 is Pakistan’s most prized possession. K2 is situated near the Baltoro Glacier in the extreme north of Baltistan (The little Tibet) near the Sino-Pakistani border. It rises to a terrifying height of 28,250 feet (8,611 meters) like a pyramid. In fact, the K2 serves as the boundary between the two nations.
Not only because it is the second-highest peak in the world, but also because many mountaineers from different parts of the world have attempted to conquer it many times in succession, the peak has attained great prominence. To reach its base camp, one must traverse the perilous and adventurous terrain of Baltoro, which can only be accomplished in stages and requires perseverance. Our k2 expedition starts and finish in Islamabad.
