Khosar Gang Expedition 2025

Your adventure begins in Pakistan's vibrant capital, Islamabad. As you arrive at the Islamabad International Airport, our friendly representative will be there to greet you with a warm welcome. We'll whisk you away to a comfortable hotel where you can unwind after your long journey. In the afternoon, we'll gather for a comprehensive briefing about the Khosar Gang expedition, ensuring you're well-prepared for the exciting days ahead.
 

Gear up for a breathtaking experience! Today, you'll board a scenic flight from Islamabad to Skardu. As you take off, witness the mesmerizing panorama of the Himalayas and Karakoram mountains unfold beneath you. Keep your eyes peeled for iconic peaks like K2 and Nanga Parbat - these colossal giants will leave you awestruck. After an exhilarating 45-minute flight, you'll arrive in Skardu, a charming town nestled amidst towering mountains. Our staff will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel, where you'll settle in for a comfortable stay.

Skardu, the capital of Baltistan, offers a unique blend of history and natural splendor. Today, you have a free day to explore this captivating town at your own pace. Immerse yourself in the local culture, visit historical sites, or simply relax and soak in the fresh mountain air. Perhaps you could visit the bustling Skardu Bazaar to find unique souvenirs or top up on any supplies needed for the expedition
 

Get ready for the adventure to truly begin! Today, we'll embark on a short but scenic drive from Skardu to Tsildi, a small village located approximately 45 kilometers away. After a refreshing break in Tsildi, we'll set off on a moderate 6-hour trek to reach the Khosar Gang Base Camp. Nestled amidst the Shigar Valley at an elevation of 3,800 meters, the base camp offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks and serves as our launchpad for the climb.
 

Allow your body to adjust to the higher altitude as we spend today acclimatizing at the base camp. This crucial phase involves short hikes and gentle activities designed to help you adapt to the thinner air. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the base camp, marvel at the star-studded night sky, and prepare yourself for the exciting challenges that lie ahead.
 

The next few days are dedicated to acclimatization and establishing camps higher up the mountain. We'll gradually ascend, carrying essential supplies to Camp 1, located at an elevation of 4,800 meters. Spending nights at Camp 1 allows your body to further adjust to the altitude, making the summit push safer and more enjoyable.

After the exhilarating experience of reaching the summit, we'll carefully descend back to the base camp. Take time to savor the memories of your accomplishment and enjoy the camaraderie with your fellow climbers.

Following a restful night at the base camp, we'll retrace our steps and trek back to Skardu. Relive the memories of your expedition as you enjoy the scenic landscapes along the way.

Bid farewell to the majestic mountains as we board a flight from Skardu to Islamabad. Upon arrival in Islamabad, you'll be transferred to a hotel for a relaxing overnight stay.

Mother Nature can sometimes be unpredictable. This buffer day allows us to account for any unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather delays or minor altitude sickness setbacks. You can use this time to relax at the hotel, explore more of Islamabad, or simply catch up on some rest

(Note: The itinerary is subject to change based on weather conditions and the group's acclimatization, and all the times are approximate and subject to change.)

It's time to say goodbye to Pakistan and carry the memories of your unforgettable Khosar Gang expedition forever. We'll transfer you to Islamabad International Airport for your flight back home. Returning with a newfound appreciation for adventure, challenge, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas.
