Gondogoro Peak, located in the picturesque Hushe valley near Khispang, offers a captivating adventure for beginner trekkers. Situated in front of the stunning Laila Peak, Gondogoro Peak promises breathtaking views from its summit, making it a rewarding challenge for those willing to undertake the journey.
