K2 Basis Kamp Trektocht

It was a wonderful experience with Trango Adventures. They took best care of everything. They are so polite and understanding. The supportive and the best trip advisor! Recommended!! Surely going to book next time too!!

i had the best experience with these guys for my trip to K2 along with my girls, they took care of so many things even after we were thousands of ft higher from sea level. The mountains felt more like home with them because that’s how professional these people are. Highly recommend for all your vacations and girlie’s getaway.????️

We had a good experience doing the K2 base camp trek with Trango Adventures. Communication was very good leading up to the trek, and they quickly provided all the documents we needed to apply for our visa. They provided airport pick-up and drop-off despite us arriving a day earlier and leaving a day later than the standard itinerary, and the hotels in both Islamabad and Skardu were comfortable. We did the trek at the end of the season which meant that it wasn’t too crowded, with a maximum of two other groups sharing the campsites with us. On our day walk from Concordia to Broad Peak base camp we were the only group on the trail in perfect conditions. We had an excellent guide and support crew, who did everything they could to accommodate our needs and were always friendly and cheerful. The food was excellent and varied and there was plenty of it. The only aspect that could be improved was the condition of the tents. One tent had a broken pole and another a minor tear in the porch. The ground sheets were very worn with a few small holes, and not at all waterproof. This meant that our sleeping mats and anything else left on the groundsheet overnight got wet. This occurred even when the ground was relatively dry and dusty, but was particularly problematic when sleeping on exposed wet ice on the glacier, where our stuff got very wet on several occasions. Either an extra tarpaulin under the tent or a foam mat inside the tent would really help in alleviating this issue. There were no pegs provided for the tents, so when we experienced a few days of wet weather, the outside fly sheet would rest on the inner tent and soak it, again meaning that water got inside the tent. It was also near impossible to keep the porch in place without pegs, and our boots ended up getting a bit wet after it collapsed one evening. We found a few spare pegs lying about at Urdukas and this made a big difference to the weather resilience of the tents for the rest of the trek. We noticed that another group were provided with a small container of water with a tap for hand washing. Something similar for our group would have been really useful. Although it was advertised that our trek would start and finish from Johla, it turned out that the road between Askoli and Johla had been closed for the entire 2024 season which added an extra day’s walking each way. This proved a bit difficult to fit into our scheduled itinerary, but it worked out in the end. Our understanding is that the road is not due to open in the near future, so it may be that future trekking itineraries need to have a couple of extra days added.
