K2 being the second highest peak world-wide is 28,251 ft high. the peak is second to Mount Everest. K2 is situated on the popular Karakoram Range. A part is situated within the Chinese-occupied Kashmir region and some part comes in the beautiful Gilgit Baltistan region of Kashmir (Pakistan).

Basically, the snow-covered mountain rises above from its base about 4,570 feet at Godwin Austen Glacier, tributary of the Baltoro Glacier. The name was given as a tribute to first peacekeeper, Col. Godwin Austen, an English geographer of 19^thcentury.

K2 weather:

Because K2 tends to have frequent and severe storms that make climbing conditions that are already tricky on their slopes even more challenging - and people find working at such heights difficult - it is one of the hardest climbs. The number of people who reached the summit is only a small fraction compared to how many successfully climbed Mount Everest.

there can be no contradiction that K2 is at another level in terms of risk, with a mortality rate of about 25% compared to Everest minute compared to 5%. Moreover, no one has ever tried to climb K2 in the winter, which means that the mortality rate during this period will probably exceed the current 25%.

K2 base camp:

The K2 base camp in Pakistan is one of the best hiking destinations in the world. The Trekkers follow the rocky trail that reaches the top of the huge Baltoro Glacier, passing through a large theater of skyscrapers.
