Khosar Gang Peak 6401 meter

Khosar Gang 6401 meter Peak Expedition

JTP plan a 14 days program for Khosar Gang Peak Expedition starting from Sildi village or Kashmal village or you can even try 1899 Workman route from Yuno village of Shigar Valley in Baltistan region of Pakistan (Skardu), a valley that is about 45 kms ride away from the Skardu City. The first successful expedition was led by an American couple (Fanny & William Bullock-Workman) in 1899, which at that time was a world altitude record for women mountaineers.

The participants of Khosar Gang Peak Expedition will arrive in Islamabad; they will be picked up from the Islamabad International Airport and will be transferred to the hotel. The participants will then fly to Skardu, which is the administrative hub of Baltistan, you will get to meet many expedition and trekking groups in Skardu as it is main town for Karakoram valleys in Baltistan region.

The participants will spend 1-3 days in Skardu City for the group preparations and documentation and acclimatization in Sadpara area. Once the group preparation & documentation is complete the participants of the Khosar Peak Expedition will drive off to Shigar Valley early in the morning. Then a group of porters from the village will accompany them to the base camp carrying the luggage along with the team of JTP. The participants will have to trek for 7-6 hours to reach the base camp of the peak.

Once the participants reach the base camp they will acclimatize and sort out the equipment for the climb. The climbing route for the Khosar Gang Peak Expedition is more like a steep hike until camp II of the peak and at a small section it gets steeper and 80-120m rope is to be fixed before the summit. Also, there are crevasses between camp II and the summit, which can be avoided by using the rope and local guide knowledge. The heights of camp I, II & summit are 4800m, 5200m and 6050m. The participants will have 05 days for the climb. After the climb the participants will follow the same route back to Skardu on jeeps, then flying back to Islamabad for the grand dinner after the success of the expedition. If time allows, the participants will also explore the twin cities (Islamabad & Rawalpindi) as well. The participants will be dropped off at Islamabad International Airport and they will fly out to their home country.
