Time
It is better to organize this trek from the end of June to the end of July, after the remains of the monsoon might spoil your spirit and the view. Some groups wait for 3 or 4 days without being able to see the shade of K2. At the end of August, it is not possible to cross Gondogoro La Pass any more.
Provisions
If you organize it by your own means, choose Skardu to buy your food. |

Treks described in this rubric have all been walked by the author, itineraries are detailed daily, maps and pictures illustrate them. On no account these sheets will replace the experience of a local guide; they are complementary and should be taken as such! Never go alone, without warning anybody! The course of some trails might change from one year to another, landslides, mud slides are numerous enough.
