K2 & Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trek 

K2 stands tall as the world’s second-highest mountain, soaring to 8,611 meters (28,251 feet). Also recognized as Mount Godwin-Austen or Chhogori, K2 is a part of the Karakoram range, situated in Pakistan. Its name, K2, originated from an early survey of the Karakoram where each mountain was labeled with a “K” followed by a number.

Famously nicknamed the Savage Mountain, K2 presents an immense challenge for climbers, known to be even more demanding than Mount Everest. Among the peaks over eight-thousand meters, K2 holds the second-highest fatality rate, claiming one life for every four climbers who conquer its summit. By 2011, only around 300 individuals had successfully reached K2’s peak, while approximately 80 climbers lost their lives attempting the climb. Notably, K2 has been ascended during winter—a remarkable feat.

Climbing History 

In 1954, Italian climbers Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni achieved the first documented summit of K2, marking a historic milestone in mountaineering.The name “K2” originated from the Great Trigonometrical Survey of British India. Thomas Montgomerie conducted the initial survey of the Karakoram range from Mount Haramukh, located around 210 kilometers (130 miles) to the south. During this survey, he drew sketches of the two most noticeable peaks and labeled them as K1 and K2.
