Site Features

Very few visitors ever attempt the summit itself — for trekkers, the real draw is the approach to K2 Base Camp via Concordia, a natural amphitheater where four of the world's fourteen 8,000-meter peaks (K2, Broad Peak, and both Gasherbrums) come into view together. Guides and climbers have nicknamed it the Throne Room of the Mountain Gods, and it's hard to argue with them once you're standing there.
