If you have not trekked in the Karakorum Mountains, you have missed the ultimate trekking experience, but if you have not trekked in to Concordia, you have missed a lifetime of journey.
Concordia is the name given to the convergence of the gigantic Baltoro Glacier and the Godwin-Austen Galcier in the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan.
Baltoro is home to hundreds of peaks, including 5 peaks above 8,000 meters (Nanga Parbat, K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II). The trek, which gives you the opportunity to get amazing glimpses of the snow capped peaks in the surrounding, is among the most risky treks in the world. As someone has said “The more the risk, the higher the reward,” this holds true in case of 8000m grande Base Camp trek.
