K2 Expedition – Climbing the Savage Mountain (8611m)
K2 (8611m), the second highest mountain in the world, rises in the Karakoram Range. Its local name, Chogori, means 'Great Mountain'. Named K2 during British surveys in the 19th century, it remains one of the most challenging climbs in the world. Towering above the Baltoro Glacier and Concordia, K2 offers a fierce and magnificent mountaineering experience. Its first ascent was made by an Italian team in 1954 via the Abruzzi Ridge. Climbers often refer to it as the 'Savage Mountain' due to its technical difficulty, unpredictable weather, and remote location. This expedition provides climbers with a true high-altitude adventure on one of the planet’s greatest peaks.
