Karakoram Camps and Nangma Trails

This trip spends time at altitude, so read the medical and health information carefully before booking and talk to a medical professional if you have concerns. The route is not technical climbing, but it is still mountain travel, with trekking days, altitude, variable weather and simple conditions.

The camping section is a proper supported camp experience. You will sleep in two-person tents, with sleeping bags and a separate mess tent where the support crew prepares fresh meals. A single supplement may be available, and camping gear can sometimes be hired or purchased in Skardu, but you should still read the packing list carefully before departure.

Flexibility matters here. Flights between Islamabad and Skardu depend on weather, and the road contingency can make travel days much longer. If you are the kind of traveler who can roll with a changed plan and still enjoy the scenery, this trip has a lot to give.

Accommodation includes 6 hotel nights and 3 nights of full service camping. The accommodation listed in the itinerary is a guide and may change if preferred properties are unavailable. If a change is needed, a similar standard will be arranged where possible.

Hotels are asked to prepare rooms before the group arrives, especially when arrival is earlier than normal check-in, but immediate check-in is not always possible. In that case, luggage can usually be stored while the group explores or waits for rooms to be ready.

Some accommodation in Pakistan is simple. Shared bathrooms, cold water, mixed air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned rooms, and daily power cuts can occur in some areas. Hot showers may only be available at peak times, usually morning and evening. If there is an issue with your room, speak with the hotel and your tour leader right away so it can be handled locally.

The group spends three nights in Islamabad at a higher-standard hotel. In Skardu and Khaplu, accommodation is Original standard, twin-share and ensuite. During the trek, three nights are spent in spacious two-person alpine tents, with a group mess tent set up at each camp. A single tent may be available for an additional cost.

Joining point: Ramada by Wyndham, 1 Club Road, Murree Road, Islamabad, Pakistan 44000.
