Participants on this morning will take the spectacular flight from Islamabad airport to Skardu airport. You will be able to see Nanga Parbat if clouds allow. After arrival in Skardu, the day is free.
Domestic flights are occasionally cancelled due to weather conditions. In the case that your flight is cancelled, you will drive to to Chilas by road.
Altitude: 2467 metres.
Complete the 10- to 11-hour car drive to Skardu (275 km). The trail provides a good perspective of Nanga Parbat (8125m) near the Indus River junction, as well as the Indus River's rapids and falls.
Travel from Skardu to Kondus via automobile. We continue our journey in comfortable Jeeps and Toyotas to the picturesque Indus and Shyok rivers at Khor Kondu (3300m). During our jeep ride, we drove through various villages, each with their distinct culture but speaking the same language. We pass through several Nallahs that are supplied by melt water and have spring water at certain locations.
We opted to pitch up camp in a little morainal valley after a three to four hour trek through summer fields, shepherd homes, and along the Kondus melt river.
Rock Climbing Days, (climbed peaks below 6500 meters)
Return trek to Khorkondo
Drive to Kebri Glacier Camp 1
Climbing activities/Days, Camping
Drive to Skardu city, enjoy a final farewell dinner, and pack for your departure to your home country.
Descend 20 minutes to Ghorhil, a natural cow corral (hil) in the middle of a boulder field (ghor). The water is dirty. Descend around 15 minutes via steep boulders to a river that flows in from the south. Cross the river and head to Lupgar (4140m, 'big rock'), the main summer destination for Khaibar and Raminj herders who share grazing rights in this area. A small spring can be discovered at the bottom of a cliff to the south. When leaving Lupgar, keep near the cliffs. 15 minutes from Lupgar, cross a southern side stream across a stone footbridge and descend for 30 minutes to the Lupgar River. Two-thirds of the way down, on the left, is a huge spring that provides the last reliable pure water till Raminj. Cross the river via an interesting footbridge and continue along the true left bank, passing Khuda Khair Charjeshan, the 'God assist us slides'. Rockfall along this trail is dangerous in wind or rain because it is so narrow and exposed.
After 45 minutes, the hike leads to a natural footbridge. The gorge is so deep and narrow that the river below is hidden. After reaching the actual right bank, continue on a tiny, loose trail with a tough footbridge. Continue down the valley, crossing two side creeks. The water in one is crimson, whereas the water in the other is light. Descend for an hour to a sandy riverside, passing through a birch wood before ascending to a juniper forest.
Hoopkerch (3700m, "seven hunters' houses") is ahead and below 15 minutes, where a glacier-side stream enters from the south. A small spring is found beneath the livestock fence.
