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 Glacier in the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan.

Baltoro is home to hundreds of peaks, including 4 peaks above 8,000 meters (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.

Minimum Group Participants and holiday Status The required number of participant bookings i.e. six (6) registrations are required to conduct the “Fixed departures”.

Status “available” means we are registering guests and “guaranteed” means we have crossed the required number of participants and the trip will commence on the given dates. We will constantly be in touch with all our guests who register. We will timely guide you step by step regarding visa applications and flight reservations to Pakistan etc. Travel Documents & Visa In order to apply for visas to Pakistan, you generally need a passport expiring later than (6) months. For more reliable and updated information, we suggest you to contact the nearest Pakistani consulate or embassy in your country. We expect that you will take full responsibility for ensuring you have the right travel documents. Normally if you are visiting non-EU countries, you must check for 2 vacant pages in your travel document (passport) for every country you plan to travel. A tourist visa (visit visa) is required to come to Pakistan for trekking. People on work visas (already in Pakistan/abroad) require a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) which normally takes up to 6 weeks. The requirements and fee for tourist visas to Pakistan is normally around 200 USD but for accurate information you should consult Pakistani consulates nearby. To apply for a tourist visa, you will need a Letter of Invitation from our company and sometimes a duplicate (copy) of the “government trekking permit” for the group, processed by us. We will help you with all necessary documents to obtain the visa once you register with us. For more information please write us at info@karakorumexpedition.com
