Khosar Gang Expedition
About This Tour
Khosar Gang stands at 6,046 m above the Shigar Valley, on the left bank of the Braldu about 45 km from Skardu. Its base camp is one of the very few in the Karakoram that can be reached from town in a single day, and the route above it is snow and ice with almost no rock - which is why it is climbed both as a first 6,000 m peak and as an acclimatisation objective before the Baltoro expeditions. Fourteen days built around carrying high and sleeping low, with a snow and ice school at base camp, two spare days held back for weather, and a certified Pakistani guide at one to three climbers on summit day. Permit, Gilgit-Baltistan fees, porters and jeeps are arranged from Skardu and included.
