Skardu Trekkers goes above and beyond to be fully prepared for emergencies, bringing all necessary tools to manage any situation.

The Laila Peak Base Camp Trek is an excellent introduction to high altitude trekking, especially if your goal is to eventually climb 6000 or 7000-meter peaks.

Is it safe for a Solo Woman to join the Laila Peak Base Camp trek?

Roughly 50% of our clients on the K2 Base Camp Trek are female, hailing primarily from the USA, the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Over the years, we have had solo women from more than 20 different nationalities join us on this expedition.

You will always be paired with another solo woman as hotel/tent mates. If there is no other female to pair you with due to odd numbers, you will not be required to share a tent.
