K2 Base Camp Hiking Guide: GPX files
Kraig Adams, kraigadams.com

These are my own GPS recordings of my twelve days on the K2 Base Camp trek in
Pakistan, August 18 to 29, 2025: from Askole up the Baltoro Glacier to
Concordia and K2 Base Camp, then over the Gondogoro La to Hushe. I walked it
with a licensed operator, guides and porters. The files show the way I
actually walked. All timestamps have been removed.

k2-full-route.gpx   All twelve days in one file, plus waypoints for Askole,
                    every camp, K2 Base Camp, the Gondogoro La and Hushe.

Total: 99.9 mi (160.8 km), about 11,150 ft (3,400 m) of climbing.
Heights are my GPS values, which read low up high: my GPS shows 5,467 m at
the Gondogoro La, which is usually published as 5,585 m.

IMPORTANT

This is a restricted-zone trek. You need a trekking permit through a licensed
Pakistani operator, and a licensed guide and porters. On the glaciers the
line changes from year to year and your guide chooses it on the day. Use
these files to see where you are and how far it is to camp, not to navigate
on your own. The Gondogoro La needs fixed ropes, crampons and a guide.
