Broad Peak Climbing Expedition
Overview
Broad Peak, the 12th highest mountain at 8,047 meters, towers in the Karakoram range of northern Pakistan and is often considered an ideal stepping stone into the world of 8,000-meter peaks. Known as a comparatively accessible challenge among the "eight-thousanders," Broad Peak attracts climbers looking to push their limits while enjoying a less technically demanding ascent. Reaching the base camp requires a stunning trek across the Baltoro Glacier from Skardu—a journey that Magpie Tours makes smooth and comfortable. Our team ensures you experience ease on your way to base camp, with cozy tents, delicious meals, and an uplifting atmosphere that brings spirit and joy to every stage of your adventure.
