Masherbrum I Base Camp Trek

📅 12 Days📐 Max 4,800m (Masherbrum Base Camp)Hard📍 Skardu / Hushe

Masherbrum (7,821m), also known as K1, is one of Pakistan's most beautiful mountains and remarkably less visited than K2. The trek through Hushe Valley is stunning, and the base camp delivers an intimate view of the peak that many consider more dramatic than K2 itself. A true hidden gem of Pakistani trekking.
