🏔️ Laila Peak Base Camp Trek – Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Pakistan’s Karakoram Range with the Laila Peak Base Camp Trek — one of the most scenic and rewarding trekking adventures in Baltistan. Towering at 6,096 meters, the iconic Laila Peak stands like a perfect ice spear above the Hushe Valley, offering trekkers breathtaking views and a true Himalayan wilderness experience.
The trek begins from Skardu, leading to Hushe village, the last settlement in the valley and gateway to several legendary peaks including Masherbrum, K6, K7, and Gondogoro La. From Hushe, the trail winds through alpine meadows, rocky moraines, and shimmering glaciers until reaching Laila Peak Base Camp, surrounded by towering granite walls and pristine snowfields.
Unlike the strenuous Gondogoro La crossing, the Laila Peak Base Camp trek is moderate in difficulty, making it ideal for adventure seekers who wish to experience the raw beauty of the Karakoram without extreme technical challenges. Nights at the base camp reveal crystal-clear skies filled with stars and panoramic views of some of the world’s highest peaks, creating a truly magical high-altitude experience.
With the combination of Balti culture, remote landscapes, and spectacular mountain scenery, this trek offers a perfect balance of challenge and serenity — a must-do for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and trekking lovers looking to explore Pakistan’s untamed mountain paradise.
The Laila Peak Base Camp trek starts in Islamabad, followed by a scenic flight to Skardu. If weather conditions prevent the flight, trekkers take the Karakoram Highway (KKH) to Chilas and then drive to Skardu. From Skardu, a thrilling 4WD jeep ride leads to Hushe Valley, the starting point of this exhilarating journey.
The trek takes adventurers through lush valleys, alpine meadows, and glacial moraines, offering breathtaking views of the Masherbrum, K6, and K7 peaks. As you ascend towards the Laila Peak Base Camp, the environment becomes more rugged, with awe-inspiring glaciers, hanging ice cliffs, and panoramic vistas of the Karakoram Range peaks.
The trek typically begins in Islamabad, with climbers either flying to Skardu or driving to Chilas if the flight is canceled due to weather conditions. From Skardu, participants travel by jeep to the Hushe Valley, where the trek to Laila Peak’s base camp starts. The journey includes several trekking days through scenic landscapes and picturesque valleys.
