Explore the Ultimate Adventure: Trekking to Four 8000m Base Camps in the Karakoram
If you seek the pinnacle of trekking experiences, the Karakoram Mountains in Pakistan await. And if you’ve not ventured to Concordia, the breathtaking confluence of the Baltoro Glacier and the Godwin-Austen Glacier, you’ve missed the journey of a lifetime.
Why Concordia is the Crown Jewel of Trekking
Concordia is often called the “Throne Room of the Mountain Gods,” and for good reason. Surrounded by towering giants, it offers unparalleled access to four of the world’s 8000m peaks:

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.
