Rock Climbing Tours on Karakoram Granite
The Karakoram has some of the finest granite on earth, from boulders and small crags to the giant walls of the Trango Towers. Valleys such as Nangma and Charakusa near Hushe offer world-class rock with short approaches and beautiful base camps, and far fewer climbers than famous areas elsewhere.
Our rock climbing tours provide everything except the climbing itself: permits, flights and transport, porters, base camp with an experienced cook, and help at every checkpoint. For beginners, our Skardu course includes a qualified instructor and all equipment.
