Trango Adventures was recommended by a friend. I joined their K2 Base Camp and Gondogoro La trek departure group as a solo female trekker. We had other trekkers from Europe, the USA and Australia. From getting information about the trip and Pakistan, to applying for the visa, everything was smooth. The entire journey was 20 days and was perfectly organised from start to finish.
Arrived at Islamabad airport, and the staff was already waiting for me, even though I arrived at an odd time ( very early morning). They transferred me to the group hotel, which was a pleasant place. Met with other fellow trekkers in the evening and took a flight to Skardu the next day. The Islamabad to Skardu flight was spectacular with a close-up view of Nanga Parbat.
Our journey from Islamabad to Skardu and back was booked in advance and exactly on schedule.
Skardu to Askoli ride was an adventure in itself along the rivers. While many other trekking groups were stuck due to road blockades and a lack of staff, we continued without any problems to Askoli.
Our guide, Iqabal, was amazing, knowledgeable, professional, and always looking after every single person in the group. He was supported by the porters and worked as a team throughout the trip. The atmosphere throughout the journey was friendly, and the crowd size was perfect, not too many people, and not too quiet either. We were lucky with the weather and crossed the Gondogoro Pass completely alone, with no crowds, making the moment feel incredibly special and personal.
The view from the top of Pass is incredible. The descent was as tricky as the ascent, so make sure you have good trekking shoes.
The terrain is very tough, so make sure you are physically and mentally prepared for this trip. I notice a lot of people were getting sunstroke, high altitude sickness and stomach problems.
I must mention our cook, Akbar and the kitchen staff, who made delicious food throughout the trek. We were never short of food and hot water.
We reached Skardu on time and caught the return flight back to Islamabad; everything was stress-free. The domestic flights and admission fees were included, which made planning simple and transparent.
There were no other hidden charges, which made it much more relaxing.
This trek is best suited for trekkers who are moderately healthy and reasonably fit. If you are looking for a real mountain adventure with professional organisation, breathtaking scenery, and a safe, welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Trango Adventure.

Everyone who is thinking for a visit to k2, I would highly recommed them.
