K6 & K7 Expedition

Overview

K6 also known as Baltistan Peak is in Mashubrum area of the Karakorum Mountains. The most frequented approach to K6 Base Camp is from Kande Village which is half-way up Hushe Valley. There is a footbridge over the Hushe river that you cross to reach the Nagmah River on the north of Mingyulu village. Keep walking along the bank of the river till you arrive at the Nangmah summer pastures. The BC is on the north-west edge of the Nangmah glacier. The valley is surrounded by steep granite walls that seem to meet in the sky. K6 was first climbed in 1970 by an expedition of Austrian Alpine Club.

K7 (Charakusa valley) is offered for marvelous rock and ice climbing peaks and it has very easy access. This valley lies at the head of the Hushe valley. K7 valley is surrounded by jagged spire mountains just like K6 (7281m), K7 (6934m), Link Sar (7041m), Daifica (6650m), Kapura peak (6545m). Most of the peaks are less than 6500m high; consequently, numerous peaks at this altitude offer the best technical climbing conditions you will ever meet.
