Muztagh Valley, nestled in the Karakoram Range of northern Pakistan, is a land of breathtaking beauty, rich history, and cultural significance. Surrounded by towering peaks like Muztagh Tower, it attracts trekkers and explorers seeking adventure in its rugged, glaciated terrain. The name “Muztagh,” meaning “ice mountain” in Turkic, reflects the valley’s dramatic landscape.
Historically, Muztagh Valley was part of ancient trade routes connecting Central Asia, China, and the Indian subcontinent, frequented by traders, pilgrims, and explorers. It also played a role in the 19th-century Great Game between British and Russian empires.
Today, Muztagh Valley remains a pristine, unexplored gem, offering a unique extension to the Concordia Trek, one of the world’s most spectacular trekking routes. This journey takes adventurers through the Baltoro Glacier, past iconic peaks like Masherbrum and Gasherbrum, leading to Concordia—where K2, the world’s second-highest peak, stands in full glory. Muztagh Valley adds a remote, untouched dimension to this legendary trek, allowing travelers to experience an unparalleled blend of adventure, history, and culture in the heart of the Karakoram.

When you reach Islamabad, AMT representative will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan, and it’s near the Himalayas. The city is busy with lots of places to eat, drink coffee, and shop.
Option A: The plan is for the whole group to catch an early morning flight to Skardu (55 minutes), the largest city in Baltistan. If the weather is clear, we can enjoy incredible views of Nanga Parbat and other massive peaks. In Skardu, guests will have free time to rest and explore the city and bazaar. We’ll finalize trekking permits and have dinner together as a group, where you’ll meet the trekking staff.
Option B: If we can’t take the flight, we might have to drive overland to Skardu from Islamabad (20-22 hours). AMT staff will decide the best option for the group. We’d sleep in Chilas overnight to break up the drive before continuing to Skardu the next day. Flying is the preferred choice if possible.
Today, the AMT team is busy food shopping and packing all of the group supplies. Guests have free time in the city during the morning and early afternoon. In the late afternoon (time permitting), we will visit the Kharpocho Fort as a group for those who want to come. After excursion we will have dinner again as a group before setting off in the morning. If the group is arriving overland from Islamabad, the entire schedule is bumped back a day, to allow for a day of rest in Skardu (that is why we schedule in buffer days!)
Today, our big adventure starts! We’ll meet up early at the hotel, load up the 4×4 jeeps after breakfast, and hit the dusty road through Askoli. Askoli is the entrance to Central Karakoram National Park, the final village where the jeep road stops. The journey from Skardu takes 7 to 8 hours. We’ll have lunch midway and reach at Askoli by late afternoon, sleeping at a permanent camp for trekkers.at Jhula.
After breakfast, we’ll start trekking to Paju at around 6:30 to 7:00 am. It’s about a 6-7 hour trek. We’ll organize our equipment, supplies, and porter loads before we set off. The terrain from Askoli to Jhula is mostly flat with some small ups and downs. It can be hot and sunny, so don’t forget sunscreen and your water bottles. We’ll have lunch at Korofong, which is halfway between Biafo Nala and Baltoro.
After breakfast Trek start to Paju (3,383 ) at 06:30 to 07:00am,Approx 6-7 hrs After the considerable organization of equipment, supplies and porter loads for the journey ahead. Between Jhula to Paju ,mostly flat with small gains and descents. The day is hot, exposed to much sun if the sunny weather, and dusty. Sunscreen and your water bottles will be your greatest friend today! We may be treated by a rowdy Balti music session from the porters after dinner at camp. Cold “showers” (a faucet basically) are available.
After early breakfast start to Khubursay 8-9 hours of hiking between 06:30am to 07:00pm. After about an hour of walking, we will enter onto the Baltoro Glacier. We will be hiking along the mighty Baltoro until we reach Concordia in several days time. It will 2 to 3 hours to finish the first glacier trails till lunch point (Leligo)40 minute will take a lunch and resting for while than start towards Khubursay, it will take another 3 to 4 hours to reach at campsite. The terrain is hilly, rocky, and uneven, with a few scattered bit of proper trail. Khubursay camp can feel a bit cramped, but there is a beautiful waterfall nearby as well as fine opportunities for sunrise view points. Toilets are basic.
After a relaxing breakfast, we begin an easy 5 km hike (4-4.5 hrs) to Urdokas Camp around 8:00 AM. Along the way, we cross icy side glaciers and get our first glimpses of Broad Peak and the Gasherbrums. Urdokas, a historic campsite established by the Duke of Abruzzi, sits on a grassy slope above the Baltoro Glacier, offering some of the most breathtaking mountain views in the world. From camp, enjoy stunning panoramas of Trango Towers, Muztagh Tower, and Lobsang. As we gain altitude, we take it slow to acclimatize properly. Urdokas is truly one of the most spectacular campsites on the trek!
Depart from the Urdokas camp trail towards Muztagh Valley.Explore the valley’s breathtaking glaciers, rocky landscapes, and hidden viewpoints.Visit local shepherd camps (if present) and enjoy views of Muztagh Tower (7,276m).Overnight camping in Muztagh Valley.
Today, you have a full day to explore the breathtaking surroundings of Muztagh Valley. Immerse yourself in the beauty of this historic region, capturing stunning photographs and discovering its hidden gems. Relax at a scenic campsite with a mesmerizing view of the majestic Masherbrum Peak, and Rudokas Peak while the towering Muztagh Peak graces the left valley, adding to the awe-inspiring landscape.
After breakfast , start around 07:30am to Goro-II, 5 – 8 hours of moderate difficulty up and down glacier terrain. Today we are starting to feel the altitude. Lunch stop at Goro 1. Temperatures can drop below zero at night at Goro 2. Basic toilets at the camp. Spectacular views along the trail of Masherbrum, Gasherbrum IV, and the summit of Broad Peak can be seen from just outside your tent.
Today, we trek to Concordia, the “Throne Room of the Gods,” a 5–6 hour journey across an icy glacier. If the weather is clear, we may catch our first breathtaking view of K2.Leaving Goro II, we pass the Biange Glacier to the north, with stunning views of the challenging Muztagh Tower (7,284m). Upon reaching Concordia, we are surrounded by magnificent peaks, including Gasherbrum IV, Mitre Peak, Broad Peak, Marble Peak, Baltoro Kangri, and, of course, K2.Nights here are freezing, with snowfall possible at any time. After dinner, we will discuss our visit to K2 Base Camp and decide whether to stay at Broad Peak or return to Concordia.
Today, we decide how to visit K2 Base Camp at night. Two options:
Option A: Start early at 5:00 am, trek to K2 Base Camp, and return to Concordia. It takes 14 to 15 hours. Walk about 15 km to reach K2 Base Camp and the Gilkey Memorial. The day is exciting, passing Broad Peak and getting close to K-2. We return to Concordia at night to avoid altitude sickness.
Option B: Stay overnight at Broad Peak Base Camp after visiting the Memorial and K2 Base Camp. No need to continue to Concordia..
We want an extra day in case of bad weather or health issues so that everyone stays together until the end of the trek, and we all get to enjoy seeing K2.
Option A: If the group comes back to Concordia on the same day, it’s a rest day at Concordia.
Option B: If the group prefers to stay at Broad Peak Base Camp, we’ll return to Concordia. On the way back, there are amazing mountain views, and we can take lots of photos. It takes a maximum of 3 hours to reach Concordia, and it’s like a rest day when we get there.
We begin the return trek descending first to Goro I where we have magnificent views of the surrounding granite spires Masherbrum K-I. We begin the return trek descending of the Baltoro glacier, today reaching as far as Urdokas where we make camp off the glacier for the first time after several days glaciers camp.

After breakfast, we will embark on a leisurely hike to Askoli, marking our return to human civilization after the long and challenging trek through Baltoro. Upon reaching Askoli, take some time to relax before distributing tips to the porters and the porter chief. The kitchen crew’s tips can be given later in Skardu. After expressing gratitude and bidding farewell to our dedicated team of porters who accompanied us throughout the trek, you can unwind and enjoy a peaceful overnight stay at the lush, green campsite of Askoli.
