We will have a splendid view of mount K2 on the way which is the second highest mountain in the world. The Masherbrum valley offers an easy but fascinating trek. Trust us once you come to the lap of these mountains and valleys you do not want to go back. There is snow and there are mountains and there are lakes and pastures with villages as beautiful as the snow and as lively as the sun. We will explore ancient forts and historical towns on our way. There is one point where you will find inscriptions carved on the rocks from 5th century by the Chinese pilgrims. There are countless ecstatic sceneries and hidden locations to explore. The world famous Karakoram Range is a valley of adventures. You will witness the majestic Nanga Parbat which hosts the highest wall in the world of 4500 meters.
