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.

The journey to Gondogoro Peak begins in the village of Hushe, which marks the end of the jeep road and serves as the starting point for expeditions and trekking adventures to various summer pastures and stunning glaciers. From Hushe, trekkers embark on a journey that leads them past notable landmarks such as K1 (Mashabrum) and eventually to the base camp of Ghundoghoro.

The first night of camping typically takes place at Shaieshcho, a large shepherd's settlement nestled amidst the natural beauty of the landscape. This picturesque campsite offers trekkers a tranquil setting to rest and rejuvenate before continuing their journey towards Gondogoro Peak.

With its relatively accessible yet challenging terrain, Gondogoro Peak provides beginner trekkers with an opportunity to test their skills and immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of the Karakoram region.
