North of Hushe , is this short trek which leads you to the base of mighty Masherbrum 7821m with excellent views all around. This shorter trek into the heart of the Karakoram is generally done as acclimatization before tackling higher destinations in the Gondogoro valley. The only glacier walking is a straight forwards 30 mintue section before base camp and most of the walking is moderate level. This is one of the quickest treks to a base camp of one of the Karakoram giant, the trek has superb close up views of Masherbrum.
