Gasherbrum-I Expedition – A Prestige Ascent Above the Clouds
Indulge in an elite mountaineering experience guided by seasoned professionals, offering refined support and breathtaking panoramas on one of the world’s highest peaks.
The mountain is tucked away in the Karakorum Mountain range amongst mazes of tall peaks. The tallest of the group of six Gasherbrum peaks nearby, Gasherbrum I has the most challenging topography.
A team of French mountaineers under the direction of seasoned climber H. De Segogne attempted Gasherbrum I in 1936, but they failed. Nich Clinch and his group of American mountaineers, on the other hand, were the first to reach the peak’s top in 1958.
Starting at Skardu, the trek leads to Gasherbrum I’s base camp. After travelling through the Shigar Valley and the Baltoro Glacier, you would eventually reach the base camp. Gasherbrum I’s climbing season runs from June to August.
