Laila Peak Base Camp Trek

In Pakistan’s Hushe Valley, the magnificent mountain known as Laila Peak is part of the Karakoram mountain range. At 6,096 meters, Laila Peak, recognized for its distinctive spear-like appearance, provides mountaineers and hikers with a demanding yet rewarding encounter. The thrilling Laila Peak Base Camp journey takes hikers through Pakistan’s breathtaking Karakoram Range

Islamabad is where the Laila Peak Base Camp Trek begins. After a friendly greeting at Islamabad International Airport, our representative will transport you to the hotel. In Islamabad, the remainder of the day is free to relax and recuperate from the travel. To provide you with a thorough briefing of the Laila Peak base camp trek, we will get together over supper. The next day, after spending the night in Islamabad, you will fly to Skardu, Baltistan, with an amazing view of the mountains.

The magnificent Nanga Parbat, K2, and the other breathtaking Himalayan and Karakoram Peaks will be your first views along the way. You will reach Skardu after 45 minutes, where you will check into your hotel and spend the remainder of the afternoon either touring the local bazaar or meeting your porters.

The capital of Baltistan, Skardu is also the base for numerous other well-known Karakoram Peaks, including Broad Peak, Mashebrum, Gasherbrum, Deosai Plato, and K2. Baltistan was formerly one of the largest Himalayan kingdoms. The Balti language, a distinct dialect of Tibetan, is spoken by the people of Baltistan. Additionally frequently spoken and understood are the languages of Urdu and English.

Trekkers and mountain climbers typically make their last-minute purchases and equipment upgrades for their adventurous expeditions in Skardu. The next day, you will travel towards Hushe via the verdant Khaplu Valley and the Mighty Indus and Shyok Rivers. Hushe is a typical Balti village with just one street. You will be sleeping in a tent here for the first time because there are no hotels. The trekking portion of your Laila Peak Expedition will start once you’ve spent your first night beneath the stars in the tent. After walking to Saicho, you will reach Laila Peak Base Camp.

Our camp will be at Laila Peak base camp, and this is where your expedition’s unguided climbing session will start. For the duration of the ascent, we will be camping at the Base Camp. You will have our guide, chef, and other staff members with you the whole time. Throughout the hike and ascent, our chefs will prepare wholesome meals. We think that eating a healthy diet is essential for participating in outdoor sports. Following that, you will return to Islamabad using the same route. After spending one night in Islamabad, we will transport you to the Islamabad International Airport the next morning in preparation for your return trip home.
