All about the Snow Dome Expedition.

Conquer the Majestic Heights of the Baltoro Muztagh with the Snow Dome Expedition.

Set off on a remarkable adventure into the heart of the Karakoram Mountains to climb the stunning Snow Dome Peak. This spectacular peak rises to an astonishing height of 7,160 metres and is located in the Baltoro Muztagh, a mesmerising subrange of the Karakoram mountain ranges, in the Skardu District, Gilgit-Baltistan. It is surrounded by notable neighbours in Concordia such as Chogholisa and Baltoro Kangri.

Some of the most famous mountains in the world, including the iconic K2 and Gasherbrum, are found in the Karakoram Mountain Range, a vast chain of mountains that spans Pakistan and China. This range, which spans a distance of 500 kilometres and 200 kilometres, at various locations creates a stunning connection between the Hindu Kush and Himalayas Mountains.

The Snow Dome Peak excursion offers a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Pakistan’s massive Karakoram Mountains, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the towering, grey-backed peaks and enormous glaciers. Askole, Skardu, the final settlement before starting the walk to Concordia, where you will find some of Pakistan’s and the world’s highest peaks as well as the vast Baltoro Glacier, is where your adventure begins.

The summer months in Pakistan, from May to August, are the ideal time to attempt the ascent to the peak. The Baltoro Muztagh peaks are renowned for their technical difficulty and are only advised for extremely experienced climbers, it is imperative to highlight.

The Snow Dome Expedition promises an experience that will stand out in your memory as you are in awe of the natural splendour and grandeur of this remarkable region, whether you are an experienced mountaineer looking for your next difficult challenge or an adventurous soul yearning to explore uncharted landscapes.
