Often called the “Crown Jewel of the Karakoram”, this circuit is one of the world’s greatest high-altitude treks.
It leads you from Askole Village through the Baltoro Glacier, past the towering Trango Towers, Masherbrum, and Chogolisa, all the way to Concordia, where four 8,000-meter peaks surround you in a single panorama.

From Concordia, the trail climbs steeply to Gondogoro La (5,585 m) — a vantage point offering an unbeatable view of K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I & II, and Laila Peak.
Descending into the Hushe Valley, trekkers enjoy a complete circular route and a rare glimpse into Balti mountain life.
