Rock climbing in Pakistan and 5,000 m peaks
We run two trips in this group: the 29-day Amin Brakk big-wall expedition at $2,400 per person for base camp services, and the 23-day Gondogoro Peak climb from $4,000, in USD or the equivalent in PKR. Both run in the summer, from June to October for the rock and July to September for Gondogoro Peak, with up to 10 people. One is for skilled rock teams, the other for fit trekkers who want a first summit.
Rock climbing in Pakistan
The Karakoram has huge walls of high-altitude granite, and most rock climbers come for two areas. The first is the Nangma Valley above Kanday, often called the Yosemite of Pakistan. Our Amin Brakk Expedition takes your team to base camp at about 4,500 m below the Great Tower (5,850 m), with about 1,650 m of climbing on the first-ascent route of the west face and about three weeks at base camp. The second is the Baltoro Glacier, where the Trango Tower Expedition supports teams on Nameless Tower and Great Trango. These are not guided climbs: your team brings its own rack, wall gear and skills, and we run everything up to and at base camp.
Gondogoro Peak: a 5,000 m summit after K2
The Gondogoro Peak Climbing Expedition follows the K2 Gondogoro La Trek up the Baltoro to Concordia and K2 Base Camp, crosses the Gondogoro La (5,585 m) and then climbs Gondogoro Peak (5,650 m) from Khuspang at 4,680 m. Harness, crampons, ice axe, helmet and rope are included, with one high-altitude porter for every two climbers. You need an earlier trek to at least 4,000 m and good fitness, and the summit day starts at midnight. After it, a 6,000 m peak such as Khosar Gang is a natural next step.
Permits and what to expect
Amin Brakk lies in an open zone, so it needs no climbing permit and no peak royalty. For Gondogoro Peak, permits, government fees and park fees are included, and for the Baltoro you need your original passport for the security clearance. Both trips run as private trips for your team. If you only want to see the walls, the Nangma Valley Trek camps below them in 10 days, with no permit needed.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I go rock climbing in Pakistan?
The two main areas are the Nangma Valley in the Hushe region, with granite towers such as Amin Brakk (5,850 m), and the Trango Towers above the Baltoro Glacier. Both have long granite routes at high altitude, far from roads. We support teams with base camp services, and the climbing itself is up to your team.
Do rock climbing trips in Pakistan need a permit?
Not always. Amin Brakk lies in an open zone, so it needs no climbing permit and no peak royalty. The Trango Towers need no peak royalty but lie in the Central Karakoram National Park, so park fees apply. Our prices include every permit and fee a trip needs, and for the Baltoro you also need your original passport.
What is a good first 5,000 m peak in Pakistan?
Gondogoro Peak (5,650 m), climbed at the end of the K2 and Gondogoro La trek. You need an earlier trek to at least 4,000 m and good fitness, not mountaineering experience. Harness, crampons, ice axe, helmet and rope are included, with one high-altitude porter for every two climbers. Our trekking peaks guide compares other options.
How much does a climbing trip in Pakistan cost?
Our Amin Brakk Expedition costs $2,400 per person for base camp services over 29 days, and the Gondogoro Peak Climbing Expedition costs from $4,000 over 23 days, with climbing gear included. Prices are in USD or the equivalent in PKR. Private prices depend on the size of your team, up to 10 people.
When is the rock climbing season in Pakistan?
From June to October. The granite in the Nangma Valley and on the Trango Towers is usually at its best in July and August. Gondogoro Peak is climbed from July to September, at the end of the trek over the Gondogoro La.
Do you provide climbing gear and guides?
On Gondogoro Peak, yes: group climbing gear and high-altitude porters, one for every two climbers, are included. On Amin Brakk and the Trango Towers we provide base camp services only. Your team climbs on its own with its own rack and wall gear, and our cook, kitchen team and porters support you up to and at base camp.
