Indicative from-rates for the standard Baltoro route; Gondogoro La and private departures are quoted separately. This is a serious high-altitude expedition — good fitness and prior trekking experience are essential.
It is strenuous: long days on glacier moraine at high altitude over about two weeks. You should be fit and have multi-day trekking experience. Gondogoro La adds a technical, roped pass crossing.
Late June to August, when the Baltoro is open and weather is most stable. Outside this window the route is not advisable.
Yes, and we arrange all trekking permits, porters and a licensed guide as part of the package.
It starts from Skardu, a separate valley from Hunza. Many travellers combine it with a few days in Hunza before or after — we can build a combined trip.
