Laila peak Base Camp Trek

Details

Laila Peak Base Camp offers one of the most exceptional short-duration trekking experiences in the Karakoram range. Renowned as the "Beauty Queen of the Karakoram," Laila Peak is considered one of the most stunning mountains in the world, especially famous for its striking, needle-like shape. Standing at an altitude of 6,096 meters, Laila Peak is situated in the Hushe Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, near Mashabrum (7,821m) and the Gondogoro Pass. The surroundings of Laila Peak Base Camp are nothing short of breathtaking, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. We are proud to be the first company to offer a trek to Laila Peak Base Camp. This trek is perfect for those looking for a short yet unforgettable adventure in the Karakoram or around Skardu. Located just three days' trek from Skardu city, Laila Peak Base Camp provides an unparalleled trekking experience. Traditionally, Laila Peak has been admired by trekkers passing through Gondogoro La on the way to K2, but this route is not ideal for everyone due to its challenging terrain and high cost. Many trekkers, even during the K2 and Gondogoro La trek, find themselves captivated by the sight of Laila Peak from Concordia after crossing the pass. Now, for the first time, we are offering a direct trek to Laila Peak Base Camp from the Hushe Valley, a more accessible and affordable option. The Laila Peak Base Camp trek is a 12-day journey from Skardu, offering an incredible experience at a fraction of the cost of the K2 trek. Along the way, trekkers will also be treated to stunning landscapes, including Saicho, Dalchangpa, Khuspang, and the Gondogoro Glacier. In addition to Laila Peak, you'll enjoy views of other majestic mountains such as Masherbrum, Amin Brak, K6, K7, and many more. This trek is perfect for those seeking an unforgettable adventure in one of the most beautiful corners of the world.
