One World Trekking Returning to the Karakoram in Pakistan

Leading Himalayan adventure travel company, One World Trekking, is confident about operating its trekking tours to K2 Base Camp. They will resume tour operations in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan beginning June 2012.

Aspen, CO, June 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- “The safety of our travelers and staff will always be our top priority,” says Andy Crisconi, One World Trekking’s Owner. “After much consideration and based on the information provided from our highly-experienced team of experts in the region, we are confident about operating trekking tours in northern Pakistan again.

“Tourism is a significant industry for this remote region and, as you can imagine, over the past 10 years adventure travel to the mountains of northern Pakistan hasn’t been very popular with our US and Canadian-based clientele. But group by group we have the ability to make a positive impact,” adds Crisconi. “Many people living in the northern regions of the Karakoram rely on tourism for their livelihood. Our focus will be on the eastern Karakoram (Baltistan region) and we will offer the simply spectacular trek up the Baltoro Glacier, to Concordia and on to the base camp of K2.”

“Our last treks in the Karakoram were offered in 2006, so we are very excited to return to this extraordinary region and offer hikers the opportunity to travel through a pure mountain wilderness,” says Crisconi.

One World Trekking began operating trips in Pakistan back in 1988. They not only have extensive experience arranging trips in northern Pakistan but also work with an extremely experienced ground operator. “People think Pakistan is completely closed to tourism right now, but the fact is that many hikers and climbers (mostly European) are still traveling to the Karakoram,” states Crisconi.
