    Trango Adventure surpassed all our expectations for the K2 base camp trek! Everything was perfectly organized from the beginning, the visa process for Pakistan to the flight home! TrangoAdventure is a perfectly coordinated team of professionals who will help you absolutely in all your needs! TrangoAdventure has very experienced managers, mountain guides, porters, drivers, and for me personally, our cook was an absolute god on our trek! The food was great, perfect for the conditions we were in! the food was always much more than we could eat! The price of the trek was also more than friendly compared to other agencies!I can only recommend TRANGO ADVENTURES, they exceeded my expectations in all directions! 110%

    We had a three week walking trip to K2, camping every night and walking across the Baltoro glacier. Having previously been to Everest Basecamp, there was a level of expectation management that this would be a different trip but, no amount of preparation would have made a difference, this was totally different. On Everest there were comfortable nights in nice tea houses, with lovely food and war rooms. This is not that trip, it is tough, the walking is harder, the camping is harder, and there is very few respites. BUT, and it is a massive BUT, it was incredible. The views are stunning, the experience amazing and the whole trip just incredible. All helped by walking with lovely people both in our group and supporting us. Without Trango Adventure, it wouldn't have been the same. Thank you Trango, and especially thank you Mr shabbir Hussain

    I had a great time with Trango adventures team for K2 Base Camp trekking! As I have no experience in hiking and trekking before , I m so worried about the trip at the beginning! Thanks MrShabir and Mr mehbob for tips and tricks related trekking, they offer a very nice price for us and sharing Skardu culture with us. We love the time to spend with our guide Sakhawat in these 16 days as he is a really serious guy and he is really professional in the trek. And we love the views on the mountain on Urdukas camp site. It was perfect :) Almost everything with Trango Adventures was amazing, we had to face some difficulty because of road blocks and wrecked bridge during trek. But thats part of nature, we control those things. So everything was great. Thank you so much Trango family for such a great hospitality. Highly recommended Trango adventures if u plan to have your trekking in Pakistan.

    If your looking for a trusted local trekking company then Trango Adventures is for you. My husband and I did K2 Concordia trek end of September 2021 and were the last trekkers of the year, This company amazed us. Travelling during Covid-19 was not easy and there were many regulations and rules. We were lucky to have the assistance of Shahid chatting back and fourth through Whatsup with ANY questions or concerns we may have. We felt like we were never alone knowing Shahid was just a text/call away. Trango Adventures treated us like family. With the unpredictability of mountain weather and cancellation of flights, the Trango family was always there to help whether its rebooking tickets, PCR tests/ COVID questions, transportation, or even simply just recommendations on restaurants and places. You will get the experience of travelling independently and having the piece of mind that someone local is willing to help you with any questions you may have. With that being said, we booked Trango for the K2 Concordia trek but we ended up asking their advice for the whole trip. They did not hesitate to help us even if we chose to stay at a different hotel that was not part of their company. K2 trek was amazing and Trango was able to provide us with experienced local guides, cook, and porters. We spent 12 days on the mountain and they were able to accommodate us with whatever we need. They even made us Pizza in 4000+m elevation because I had mentioned I craved it at one point. The gear they used is very good quality. The tent alone was the best tent we've ever used (North face Summit series). We were provided with comfortable matts as well. Trango adventures owns the Summit hotel in Skardu where we decided to stay after our trek. We met the owners of the company (Shahid's father hence Family owned company) who gave us tips on the K2 trek. They are mountain climbers and have met famous climbers all over the world. They are the best people to ask for trekking advice. It was very lovely to meet them and the whole Trango Adventures family. Our trip would not have been the same without these guys. We are very grateful and hopefully will go visit again soon.

    Trango Adventure delivers where the residual value counts – the memory of K2 and the Karakoram mountains and glaciers from an epic trek of a lifetime. The best view of K2 is along the trail from Concordia to Broad Peak base camp (BC) and then onward to K2 BC. Doing it in a (very) long day and returning back to Concordia would not only be physically challenging but also won’t give one much time to enjoy the world-class scenery. After all, flying to Pakistan and then Skardu and then riding 1-day jeep to the trailhead for K2 BC trek is to fully enjoy what K2 and the Karakoram mountains have to offer, instead of rushing one of the most important days of this multi-week trip. Not many companies, western adventure agencies included, offer a standard literary that has a built-in Broad Peak BC overnight day so that clients can have a better K2 experience. One reason is the additional costs for the horses/mules and trekking crew. There is no vegetation for the animals beyond Concordia so camping at Broad Peak BC means carrying extra horse feed all the way from the trailhead, which is not cheap. And typically, porters and horses/horsemen don’t get paid on the “rest days”; this means it costs more to have them carry a load to Broad Peak BC for clients’ one-night stay there and then return with the load to Concordia the next day for another night, vs. just stay at Concordia while clients do the tough walk in a single long day (Concordia to Broad Peak BC / K2 BC and then back to Concordia the same day). We did K2 BC trek with Trango Adventure in Aug 2021 whose standard literary has a built-in camping day at Broad Peak BC with a price compatible to other companies that do not camp there. The trekking crew was eager to share their love of K2 and the Karakoram, and we had the best view of K2, Broad Peak, and the surrounding mountains up-close while walking on the Godwin Austen Glacier that leads to K2 BC (and beyond). In addition, the acclimatization day hike of Trango Adventure’s K2BC literary is an ascent to a lookout near Urdukas campsite, instead of doing acclimatization in Paiju as most of the trekking companies do. The choice of the former allowed us to see three of the world’s 14 eight-thousanders (i.e. Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II and Gasherbrum I), thanks to cooperating weather. In summary, Trango Adventure delivers where the residual value counts – the memory of K2 and the Karakoram from this epic trek of a lifetime. We’ve attached 10 photos to share, where 8 of them were taken from the walk of Broad Peak BC / K2 BC as well as from the lookout near Urdukas.

    If driving down the Karakoram Highway we will arrive to Islamabad late afternoon. If we managed to fly the day before then we will spend today sightseeing in Islamabad. In the evening we will have a final group meal. Skardu is a ‘weather dependent’ airport which means the planes will only fly here if the visibility allows line of sight to the runway by the pilot on the approach. Fortunately the weather is mostly clear in the Karakoram but local weather conditions can bring cloud and rain from time to time. If we cannot fly we will travel down to Islamabad by road along the spectacular Karakoram Highway. If we flew up to Skardu this will be an added bonus as it is a fantastic travel experience in its own right. The drive down the Indus River to Islamabad takes two days so this is an important contingency day to allow for this. If we have flown to Islamabad this will be a further day for sightseeing in the capital and your leader will advise the group on the options available for today. ACCOMMODATION
