Climb the world’s 13th-highest peak with Pamir Crest Adventure Tours
At 8,035 meters, Gasherbrum II (GII) is one of the most rewarding 8,000-meter peaks in the Karakoram. It is often seen as a good first 8,000er, but it is still a serious high-altitude climb. Our 40-day expedition is built for climbers with solid mountaineering experience who want a well-organized, fully supported summit attempt.
The journey
You arrive in Islamabad, where our expedition team handles permits, gear checks, and travel to Skardu, the gateway to the Karakoram. From there you trek up the Baltoro Glacier, passing Concordia and the great peaks around it, to Gasherbrum Base Camp.
On the mountain
After settling in at base camp, you complete acclimatization rotations through the higher camps on the glacier and the upper slopes. The summit window usually opens in July and depends on weather and team readiness. Experienced high-altitude guides, rope-fixing crews, and support staff work together to keep the climb safe and efficient.
Why climb with us
From airport pickup to summit push to safe return, we’re with you at every stage.

Equipment List We are providing you with three lists for the Trek. List 1 and 2 contain items and equipments that you must bring. The third list contains optional items you might need on your trekking holiday. Based on your own judgment you can select things that you might need from the third list.
List 1 – Must Bring Items:
List 2 – Mountaineering Equipments:
List 3 – Optional:
Minimum Group Participants and holiday Status The required number of participant bookings i.e. six (6) registrations are required to conduct the “Fixed departures”. Although we receive several guests for each fixed departure, we feel that it is important to mention it. You can make sure of the trip status on this page. Status “available” means we are registering guests and “guaranteed” means we have crossed the required number of participants and the trip will commence on the given dates. We will constantly be in touch with all our guests who register. We will timely guide you step by step regarding visa applications and flight reservations to Pakistan etc.
Travel Documents & Visa In order to apply for visas to Pakistan, you generally need a passport expiring later than (6) months. For more reliable and updated information, we suggest you to contact the nearest Pakistani consulate or embassy in your country. We expect that you will take full responsibility for ensuring you have the right travel documents. Normally if you are visiting non-EU countries, you must check for 2 vacant pages in your travel document (passport) for every country you plan to travel. A tourist visa (visit visa) is required to come to Pakistan for trekking. People on work visas (already in Pakistan/abroad) require a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) which normally takes up to 6 weeks. The requirements and fee for tourist visas to Pakistan is normally around 200 USD but for accurate information you should consult Pakistani consulates nearby. To apply for a tourist visa, you will need a Letter of Invitation from our company and sometimes a duplicate (copy) of the “government trekking permit” for the group, processed by us. We will help you with all necessary documents to obtain the visa once you register with us.
1. Team building: It takes time to formulate a good team. We go through all incoming applications and formulate the best team of mountaineers (on the basis of experience). Although our vet process is not very strict, our top priority is always the safety of fellow climbers. We will not accept all applications only to maximize the number of the mountaineers.
2. Logistics: Our climbing adventures involve a lot of logistics. This includes reserving/assigning high altitude porters, guides and other staff in advance. It also involves a lot of procurement (equipment, food etc). This is not possible during the last hours. During winters expeditions, most of the supplies are transported to base camps two to three months prior to the expedition because winters in the mountains of Pakistan are very harsh and it becomes almost impossible to for porters to walk through the trail with heavy supplies.
3. Climbing Permit: Pakistani government tourism laws require tour operators to submit applications for climbing (along with all documents e.g. passport copies, photos, etc) at least 55 days prior to arrival in Pakistan.
4.Domestic Flights: We might not be able to get you on the domestic flight to Skardu if you do not pay your deposit on time. Domestic flight seats are sold very fast way ahead of time because there are only two flights to Skardu during peak season. This is a very serious concern.
CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICIES
By the Joint Expedition Team:
If the minimum requirement of 6 participants not be met by April 30, 2025, deposits will be refunded within 7 days, subject to the deduction of transfer fees and based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the refund.

Gasherbrum II (8,035 m) sits on the Pakistan-China border in the Gasherbrum group, deep in the Baltoro Muztagh of the Karakoram. It is the 13th-highest mountain in the world and was first climbed in 1956 by an Austrian expedition. Today it is one of the most popular 8,000-meter peaks, thanks to a relatively straightforward route and some of the most spectacular scenery in the Karakoram.
Our 40-day expedition begins in Islamabad and continues to Skardu, where final preparations are made before the journey into the mountains. The trek follows the Baltoro Glacier past Concordia, where K2, Broad Peak, and the Gasherbrum giants come into view together, and ends at Gasherbrum Base Camp.
From base camp, the climb follows the standard route through a series of higher camps. Acclimatization rotations prepare the team for the summit push, which usually takes place in July when conditions are most favorable. The route is considered less technical than other 8,000ers, but it still demands strong fitness, sound judgment, and respect for altitude, weather, and crevassed glacier terrain.
Throughout the expedition, our experienced high-altitude guides, rope-fixing teams, and support staff manage logistics, camp setup, and safety, so you can focus on the climb. With weather forecasting, medical support, and a comfortable base camp, Gasherbrum II offers a well-supported route to your next 8,000-meter summit.
