My husband is looking for an agency in Pakistan to organize a trek to K2-basecamp an return via Gondogoro La. He is experienced in high-altitude trekking and knows, how to walk and behave on glaciers.

Does somebody have any suggestions for trustworthy agencies in Pakistan, which would do this trek with one tourist only (he likes to go on his own) and maybe with a individual itinerary? He wants to have 2-4 extradays.

What's about the prices?

Thanks!

Karin

Hi Karin,

There're many agenicies in the world who arrange the itinerary you've mentioned but better to hire the services of some Pakistan based agency, which could be chaeper and convenient.

K2, Gindghoro la, almost a 3 weeks itinenrary from Islamabad, among the Karakoram mountains, stunning views of Trango Towers, and Baltoro, Abruzzi glaciers, a very enjoyable trekking plan.

I put some of the names of the agencies, you can send them the travel queries and get the updates.

I treked with Vertical Explorers Pakistan. I called them to ask a few questions after checking out their website "www.visitpakistanonline.com". The sales rep, Asim, was very helpful, answering questions and offering suggestions without being pushy. He also called back promptly to let me know where things stood with the activities we wanted to reserve. I booked the K2 Trek with Gold package. Because I'd booked so early, I was able to send them a check instead of using my credit card and saved a few extra bucks that way.

Their customer service is top notch,and I'd gladly recommend them.

There are hundreds of local companies offering Gondogoro La Trek I did this Trek in August 2008. I have contacted many local agencies during my trip planning but I found a local agency Snowland very professional while responding queries and in terms of price also and after doing the trip with Snowland I am more than happy to recommend them.They take care of every thing and provide personalize serivce I am writing below their E-mail and Website address for contact
