Gasherbrum II Expedition

Gasherbrum II (8,035 m), the world's 13th-highest peak, is widely regarded as the most accessible of the Karakoram's 8,000 m giants. The approach follows the same storied Baltoro route as K2 and Broad Peak, via Askole, Paiju and Concordia, to a dedicated Gasherbrum base camp. Full climbing-period logistics — porters, high-altitude camps and permit handling — are arranged individually with each team; get in touch for a route plan and current quote.
