Nanga Parbat / Broad Peak
Tour Overview
The expedition starts with Nanga Parbat, one of the world's highest and most spectacular mountains. Depending on the selected route and current conditions, the team establishes Base Camp and undertakes progressive acclimatization rotations before attempting the summit. After completing the Nanga Parbat phase, the team transfers toward the Baltoro region, trekking through Askole and the legendary Baltoro Glacier toward Concordia and Broad Peak Base Camp. At Broad Peak, further acclimatization rotations prepare the team for the 8,051m summit attempt. The itinerary includes dedicated summit windows and reserve days, recognizing that successful ascents depend heavily on weather, route conditions, acclimatization and team health.
