Rakaposhi Base Camp & Baskochi Meadows Trek

A compact, nine-day version of the Rakaposhi base-camp route that adds a second high-altitude highlight — the lush Baskochi meadows above Hoper valley — for travellers who want the glacier views without the full two-week itinerary.

The climb, day by day

540–3,450 m of elevation gain.

Every altitude below is pulled straight from this trip's real itinerary — drawn, not decorative.
