Today is reserved for official paperwork, checking climbing gear, and acclimatization. Explore Skardu’s bazaar, fort, and surrounding natural spots if time permits
A jeep ride through the Shigar Valley takes you to Askole, the last village before the glaciers. Here, porters organize supplies and prepare for the trek.
Begin trekking along the Braldu River on sandy and rocky trails. Suspension bridges cross rivers, and by evening, the team sets camp at Jhola.
Continue trekking for 6–7 hours along gravel plains and ridges. The first clear views of granite walls, including the Trango Towers, begin to appear.
Porters prepare for the glacier journey while climbers take short hikes in the surrounding hills. This rest helps with acclimatization.
