The Khosar Gang Expedition presents diverse hiking opportunities, starting from gentle valley trails and culminating in snow-covered slopes. Trekkers begin their journey through alpine pastures and local villages, gradually ascending into icy, high-altitude terrain. This progression offers excellent acclimatization and scenic variety.
Along the way, hikers may encounter local herders, spot rare wildlife, and experience the quiet power of the Karakoram environment. While the final ascent requires good physical conditioning, it doesn’t demand extensive mountaineering skills—making it ideal for those ready to push their limits. Each stage of the trek offers spectacular views and a sense of accomplishment.
Khosar Gang is located near the Shigar Valley in Skardu District, Gilgit-Baltistan, nestled within the majestic Karakoram Range. The mountain stands tall at 6,050 meters (21,000 feet) and is considered one of the most accessible trekking peaks in the region. The surrounding landscapes feature vast alpine meadows, glacial rivers, and dramatic mountain vistas.

Khosar Gang has long held significance for local communities as a landmark and grazing zone during summer migrations. Though it remained relatively unknown in international climbing circles for decades, its prominence and non-technical nature have recently gained the attention of expedition groups and adventure tourism operators.
The mountain’s early ascents were made by local mountaineers and trekkers, and it has since grown in popularity as a high-altitude goal for those transitioning from trekking to alpine climbing. Local guides and communities have played a crucial role in developing safe routes and sustainable trekking practices.
Our hikers consistently praise the Khosar Gang Trek for its breathtaking beauty and unforgettable challenges. Every journey offers a unique blend of adventure, culture, and natural wonder.
