Security Concern in Pakistan
At the Jasmine Tours we feel it is safe to trek to K2 Base Camp, however, it is essential you do your own research and decide yourself if you wish to join this trek. We recommend taking travel advice from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) rather than the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) as they are better resourced.
Significantly, both the FCO and the DFA advise against travel along the Karakoram Highway (KKH), however, we are hopeful they will downgrade this advice soon. In the event that the internal flights from Islamabad to Skardu and Skardu to Islamabad are canceled due to weather on days three and 21, we will need to make the journey by road along the KKH.
For more information on security in Pakistan click here for the FCO and here for the DFA. We require all participants traveling on this expedition to sign a disclaimer form which we will send you after you make your booking.
