Located in the spectacular Karakoram Range, the name Karakoram originates from a Turkish term meaning “Black Rubble,” reflecting the rugged and dramatic terrain of the region. In 1856, Captain T.G. Montgomerie surveyed the Baltoro region from a distance of nearly 200 km, identifying a series of prominent peaks labeled K1, K2, K3, and so on, with the prefix “K” representing the Karakoram. Later surveys by Colonel Godwin-Austen confirmed K2 as one of the world’s highest mountains, rising above the immense Godwin-Austen Glacier, which forms a natural ice corridor leading toward the mountain’s base. The expedition route to K2 Base Camp passes through the legendary Baltoro Glacier, one of the largest glaciers outside the polar regions, surrounded by an extraordinary concentration of the world’s highest peaks. In this region alone, nineteen peaks exceed 7,600 meters, including four peaks above 8,000 meters, creating one of the most dramatic mountain landscapes on Earth.
