OVERVIEW
The K6/K7 Base Camp Trek is a remarkable journey through the stunning Hushe Valley, one of Baltistan’s most scenic and culturally rich regions. Beginning in Skardu, the trek takes adventurers through picturesque villages, fertile meadows, and along dramatic mountain trails that lead toward the mighty Karakoram. Hushe, the gateway to this adventure, sets the tone with its traditional Balti culture, welcoming hospitality, and awe-inspiring alpine surroundings.
As the trek unfolds, participants will pass through Saicho and Spangsar, gradually gaining altitude while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The highlight is reaching the base camps of K6 (7,281m) and K7 (6,934m), alongside other spectacular peaks such as Link Sar, Drifica, Kapura Peak, Niza Peak, and Namika. From lush pastures to rugged glacial terrain, the route offers a mix of natural wonders that change dramatically with each stage of the journey.
The trek is not only a feast for mountaineers and trekkers seeking dramatic vistas but also an immersion into the enduring traditions of the Balti people, whose lifestyle harmonizes with this remote environment.
