Concordia, Glacial confluence in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
The Baltoro and Godwin-Austen glaciers merge at Concordia, creating a vast expanse of ice at 4,600 meters in the Karakoram mountain range.
European explorers named this location after a similar glacial junction in Switzerland's Bernese Alps during their early Karakoram expeditions.
The Balti people of Gilgit-Baltistan have traversed these glacial paths for centuries, establishing traditional routes through the mountainous terrain.
Trekkers can reach Concordia from Skardu, following an established path along the Baltoro Glacier or return via the Gondogoro Pass at 5,940 meters.
From this glacial junction, visitors can observe four peaks exceeding 8,000 meters: K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I, and Gasherbrum II.
