K2 isn’t nicknamed “the savage mountain” for nothing. The world’s second-highest peak is arguably the toughest challenge in mountaineering, but nearby Broad Peak, the world’s 12th-highest mountain, is the perfect stepping stone to tackling this daunting challenge. This expedition offers you the chance to conquer two of the Karakorum’s most iconic peaks in the space of a single summer climbing season.

 

Conquer two of the Karakorum’s most iconic peaks: K2 & Broad Peak

Our leader's extensive experience in the Karakorum makes them uniquely placed to offer this ambitious combo package, which sees us using Broad Peak, one of the easiest of the 8,000ers, as an acclimatisation climb, en route to tackling K2, one of the most difficult.

Royal Nepal Group’s K2 expedition plans, where speed and efficiency were paramount in achieving his goal. On this combo expedition, we aim to summit both Broad Peak and K2 within 63 days, with the time on Broad Peak reducing the amount of time we need to spend acclimatising on the lower slopes of K2. This 60 day period includes an additional week of contingency, in case of bad weather.

Our leader's success on mountains like Broad Peak and K2 is about more than just their supreme skill as climbers - it comes down to their ability to plan and prepare for every eventuality that can possibly be prepared for. This approach is what enables Royal Nepal Group to offer these unique combination climbs. We control the controllable, making sure we keep every aspect of expedition planning in-house, from preparing food to fixing ropes. This means we’re never left relying on third parties, and can maximize the efficiency of your time on the ground in Pakistan.

As with all Royal Nepal Group expeditions, our first priority is your safety. We guarantee a 1:1 guide-to-client ratio, with four highly experienced Sherpas always kept on standby in case of emergencies. At every stage of the combination expedition, we will be monitoring each member of the team’s performance, and we won’t push on to K2 without a high level of certainty that the objective of summiting is within your reach.

Like all of our guides are hugely experienced mountaineers, and many of them are record-holders in their own right. But they’re also trained in high-altitude rescue and recovery techniques. We have evacuation plans and accessible helicopter rescue in place, ready to go at short notice should it be needed. Simply put, if you’re thinking of attempting one of the world’s hardest mountains, you could not be in safer hands.

Climbing K2 is a huge achievement and the pinnacle of any mountaineer’s career. It’s not easy, but that’s the point. As record-breakers, we recognize and respect the desire to achieve the impossible in our clients - it’s what drives us too. If it’s your dream to conquer the savage mountain, and you have the experience and ability to take on Broad Peak at the same time, we’ll climb them with you, every step of the way.
