Paju Expedition 2025-26

Paju Peak (6,600 meters / 21,653 feet) is one of the most captivating and majestic peaks in the Karakoram Range, located near Baltoro Glacier in the Skardu district of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. This beautiful pyramid-shaped mountain rises gracefully above the Paju Campsite, which serves as the gateway to the legendary K2 Base Camp Trek.

Towering above the confluence of the Braldu and Baltoro Glaciers, Paju Peak stands as a striking landmark, offering a perfect introduction to the grandeur of the Karakoram. Surrounded by towering giants such as Trango Towers, Cathedral Peaks, Uli Biaho, and Baltoro Kangri, it provides a breathtaking 360° panorama of snow-capped wilderness — a true paradise for mountaineers and adventure seekers.

History and Climbing Background

TPaju Peak was first explored during the early expeditions to the Baltoro Glacier and has since become a popular objective for climbers looking for a moderately challenging ascent in one of the most spectacular settings on Earth. Though not as well-known as K2 or Broad Peak, it offers an exceptional mountaineering experience that combines both technical climbing and scenic beauty.

Its location near the main trekking route to K2 Base Camp makes it logistically accessible and an excellent training climb for those preparing for higher peaks like Spantik, Pastore Peak, or Gasherbrum II.

The Paju Peak Expedition 2025 offers an adventurous yet achievable climb suitable for both intermediate and experienced mountaineers. The ascent typically begins from Paju Camp (3,400m) and proceeds through a combination of snow, ice, and mixed terrain leading to the summit.

The Paju Peak Expedition is a perfect choice for those seeking a challenging yet attainable six-thousander in Pakistan’s Karakoram region. It provides the ideal blend of technical climbing, cultural immersion, and natural beauty. The expedition route allows participants to experience the legendary Baltoro Trek, walk among the world’s highest peaks, and witness the unparalleled wilderness of Gilgit-Baltistan.
