Weather conditions vary depending on the mountain and season. Typically, the best climbing window is between June and September, when conditions are more stable. However, strong winds, snowfall, and sub-zero temperatures are still common at high altitudes.

•  Climbers should prepare with a combination of cardio endurance, strength training, and altitude acclimatization. We recommend long hikes with a weighted pack, stair training, and high-altitude simulations if possible.

•  We provide a mix of Pakistani, Western, and high-energy expedition meals. Base camp meals include fresh vegetables, meats, pasta, rice, and soups, while high camps rely on freeze-dried and lightweight meals for easy preparation.

• • For Khosar Gang and Spantik, you will carry a light daypack (5-8kg) while porters transport heavier loads.
  For Broad Peak, climbers carry their own gear above base camp, typically 12-15kg including climbing equipment.

•  Yes, personal guides and porters are available at an additional cost. We highly recommend hiring a high-altitude porter for Broad Peak due to the extreme difficulty of carrying heavy loads above 7,000m.

•  Climbers must have comprehensive insurance covering high-altitude mountaineering, emergency rescue, and medical evacuation. A helicopter evacuation in the Karakoram can cost between $20,000 and $32,000 USD, so proper coverage is essential.

 If the weather prevents a summit bid, we will wait for a safer window or descend and return if necessary. Expedition dates include buffer days for flexibility, but we always prioritize safety over reaching the summit.

• Khosar Gang: 4-10 climbers
• Spantik Peak: 5-12 climbers
• Broad Peak: 6-14 climbers Smaller groups allow for better logistics and individualized support.

Khosar Gang is an excellent introductory climb for those new to mountaineering. It involves basic ice axe, rope, and crampon use, but does not require advanced technical climbing skills.

While technical mountaineering experience is not required, you should have prior high-altitude trekking experience and be comfortable hiking on steep slopes and glacier terrain.

• Mandatory gear: B2 boots, crampons, ice axe, harness, and helmet.
• Recommended gear: Trekking poles, high-altitude gloves, and a solar charger for electronics.
• A complete packing list will be provided upon booking.

 No special permits are required, but we handle all necessary local permissions and logistics.

 The standard itinerary is 9-12 days, including acclimatization and summit attempts.
