The green oasis of Shigar is soon reached, following the swift flowing Shigar River, upstream, the road lead through orchards and sandy stretches. The Haramosh range, with its snow covered peaks, rises the left. Soon after Shigar, at Skoro, a trail branches northeast to cross Skoro La (5070m) and drop directly to Askole. In the main valley Tandara village is a paradise of green trees, flowers and fresh cool streams amidst the rocky wilderness. A few kilometers ahead the Braldu River meet the Shigar and the road turning northeast, enters the Braldu valley and arrives at Dassu (2679m). Now the road and Braldu River becomes more enclosed. The road climbs strenuously and having gained about 500m, it descends to a gravel bed over moraine and sand.

About 8km after Askole the trail crosses the tongue of Biafo glacier, which look like waves of ice and "gives the impression of great storm-tossed sea, suddenly immobilized."

In Balti the name means Salt, quite apt, for beyond the birch and poplar trees growing in the valley can be seen slopes white with a light saline deposit. The camping ground is situated on a flat terrace littered with boulders. Ancient poplar trees can be seen growing along a crystal clear stream flowing nearby.

The Payu is traditional halt spot for porters, we like to stay or not but we have to pay full day halting allowance and food to porters and guide as per Government of Pakistan rules and regulations.

We will continue along the northern flank of the valley over hillocks and wide stretches of stones, The glacier, about 2 kilometer wide, curves northeast and then east on the long course from its head at Concordia. Trekking on the glacier will slow and tiring and we will have to make extra effort to finding a safe route, avoiding ice ridges and crevasses.

Trek to urdokas, the most tiring and strenuous part of the whole trek will starts. It involves may subsidiary glaciers flowing in from the north between great rock peaks, climbing up and down over a confusion of rocks and threading a way through an endless maze of giant boulders. To the left sharp snow covered peaks and granite spires stab the sky. At last we will reach Uurdokas, which in Balti means "fallen stones." The actual camping ground here is situated 300m above the glacier, on a broad grassy slope. Several overhanging caves and rock shelters perched on the steep hillside can be found dotted around.

 

Day-10-Urdokas-Goro-II (4345m) 12 Kilometers:
Trek to Goro-II, another strenuous stretch over snow and moraine hillocks of frozen icy rocks. Crossing the glacier, sometimes the snow turns soft an one sinks knees deep into icy slash. Goro camping site is located on the North bank of amidst moraine hillocks.

 

Day-11-Goro-II-Concordia:
Trek to Concordia. It takes 3 to 4 hours to reach Concordia; all around are giant ice clad mountains of 7000 and 8000m. Concordia is at the heart of Karakoram range, and the centre of a complex of some of the world's highest peaks and many of its largest glaciers. It is a location steeped in history, redolent of the adventurous, questing spirit that drove the earliest explorers and mountaineers to pursue their objectives whatever the hardship met: G.T.Vigne who first discovered the Karakoram System; Lt.
Montgomery and Godwin Austen who first identified and measured the distant peaks including K-1(Masherbrum) and K2; Younghusband , Conway, Jacot-Guillarmod; the Duke of Abruzzi accompanied by his splendid photographer, Vittorio Sella; Kenneth Mason of the Survey of India; the Duke of Spoleto and Professor Desio; Dr. Visser and his wife; Shipton, Tilman and Auden; and the baltis, Balti men, and balti Porters who carried and endured for they knew not what. All contributed to the unraveling and understanding of this great, awe-inspiring mountains system; many are commemorated in the name of glaciers. passes and peaks.
