Pastore Peak 

Pastore Peak is a remarkable trekking peak in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan, standing at an altitude of approximately 6,209 meters (20,365 feet). Located near the iconic Baltoro Glacier, this climb offers breathtaking views of some of the world's most renowned peaks, including K2, Broad Peak, and the Gasherbrum range. A less crowded but equally adventurous destination, Pastore Peak provides climbers with a chance to experience high-altitude mountaineering in one of the most dramatic mountain landscapes on Earth.

The climb is ideal for individuals with moderate mountaineering experience, combining glacier travel, steep ascents, and the thrill of a remote expedition. The journey to Pastore Peak also allows participants to explore local Balti culture, traverse rugged terrains, and experience the grandeur of the Karakoram firsthand.
