The mountain referred to by the village people of Korphe as "K2" is actually not the famous peak known by that name, but rather a different mountain in the region. This misidentification likely stems from local naming conventions or traditions.
To reach the base camp of this mountain from Askole, one must cross a vine bridge and traverse across summer pastures, continuing beyond Korphe until reaching the base camp situated at 3300 meters above sea level.
In 1978, a British women's expedition attempted to climb this mountain, but they were unable to reach the summit. Despite the challenge and the failed attempt, such expeditions contribute to the rich history of mountaineering exploration in the region and serve as a testament to the determination and spirit of adventure of those who embark on such endeavors.
