Overview
Broad Peak, known locally as Falchan Kangri, rises at the heart of the Karakoram, dominating the skyline above the Baltoro Glacier. At 8,047 meters, it stands as the 12th highest mountain on Earth, featuring a massive summit ridge stretching nearly 1.5 kilometers. This expedition follows the historic West Face route established in 1957, offering sustained snow and ice climbing at extreme altitudes. Among the fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, Broad Peak is considered the natural progression for climbers stepping beyond 7,000 meters. The journey includes a trek through the legendary Baltoro Glacier, a stay at the majestic Concordia, and a return via the high-altitude Gondogoro La pass, providing an immersive experience in the world's most dramatic mountain landscape.
