Hidden deep inside the Shigar Valley of Baltistan, the Khosar Gang Peak Trek (6,040 m) is one of Pakistan’s most rewarding short expeditions. Unlike the more famous giants of the Karakoram, such as K2 and Broad Peak, Khosar Gang offers climbers and trekkers the opportunity to summit a Himalayan peak within just 10–12 days. This makes it an ideal adventure for those looking to test their skills at altitude without committing to long expeditions. The trek combines stunning alpine meadows, glacier travel, and cultural immersion in Baltistan’s historic valleys. From the summit, the panorama stretches from Masherbrum to Saltoro Kangri, with the faint outline of K2 visible on clear days. If you’ve ever dreamed of summiting a Himalayan peak but want a shorter, more accessible climb, the Khosar Gang Trek is the perfect choice.
The Khosar Gang Trek is moderate to strenuous. While not as technical as 7,000–8,000 m peaks, it requires:
10�12 Days
Moderate to Strenuous
$1050.00
Khosar Gang (6,040 m) – the summit itself. Mango Gusor (6,270 m) – neighboring peak. Masherbrum (7,821 m) – “Queen of the Karakoram.” Saltoro Kangri (7,742 m) – distant summit on the Pakistan-India border. K2 (8,611 m), Broad Peak & Gasherbrums – visible from ridges in clear weather.
Shigar Valley: Apricot orchards, traditional Balti mosques, and the historic Shigar Fort. Skardu: Gateway to the Karakoram, with serene alpine lakes. Deosai National Park: A high plateau known as the “Land of Giants,” accessible from Skardu.
This year, I had an opportunity to trek to K2 Basecamp, and I chose to go with Active Adventure. I must say, the entire experience was absolutely outstanding. The owner, Imran Shigri, is one of the most cooperative, humble, and genuinely caring people I’ve met. He made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Every aspect of the trek was perfectly organized, from the camps to the food, the guide (Akbar), and the porters. The arrangements were comfortable, well-managed. If you're considering a trip to K2 Basecamp or any adventure in the region, I highly recommend Active AdventurePK. Their professionalism and hospitality truly set them apart. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m grateful to have shared it with such an amazing team.
Amazing experience. Imran assembled a great support team for our K2 Basecamp and GGLA trek. The support staff were professionals and knew what they were doing. Besides their knowledge, they were super patient and helpful in every way. I will not hesitate reaching out to Imran Shigri and highly recommend Active Adventure Pk if you are considering K2 Basecamp or any other adventure. Thank you Imran Bhai for your service.
The best base camp in the Karakoram! We had the best food, tents, accommodations, staff and comfort of any of the Broad Peak and K2 base camps this past summer. Every other climber and trekker that came by commented on how much better our base camp was than any other in the Karakoram. The food was fantastic. After four 8000 meter peaks this was the only one I never lost any weight on because we ate so well! The staff also treated women equally to men something I saw the opposite of with many other companies. I am looking forward to using them again next year on Nanga Parbat. If you want the best in Pakistan contact Imran at ActiveAdventurePK!
