Wonderful - Exceptional trek - the most beautiful mountains that I've ever seen! Apricot organized it amazingly - great communication from the very beginning until the very end. Logistics were very smooth and all personnel at Apricot were super helpful and kind. Would definitely use them again if I come back to Pakistan one day.

Incredible Hiking Experience - The trek to K2 Basecamp was one of my most memorable hiking trips ever. Jan was our guide for the trekking part of the journey. He’s a very knowledgable and experienced guide who speaks good English. He did everything he could to make our group feel comfortable and safe. The tents provided were in good condition. They bring along tables and chairs, which were much appreciated after a long day of hiking. There was always plenty of food and snacks. We even had fresh meat for the majority of the hike. All the logistics and details were well planned, which meant everything ran smoothly. One of the selling points for us was that Apricot Tours donates a portion of what hikers pay to send the children of the porters to school. If you’re looking to go trekking to K2 Basecamp and you want to go with a local company that focused on safety and provides top-notch service, check out Apricot Tours.
