ADVENTURE TRAVEL  has been providing adventure services in this area since 1987. With our base in Skardu, the capital of Baltistan, in the heart of the Karakoram range less than 100km from the border of Xinjiang province of China you can count on the best service at the lowest ever cost for your expedition.


INTRODUCTION: Mustagh Ata is situated in the Kun Lun range in the Xinjiang province of China close to the border with Pakistan. The best approach for this great mountain is on the Karakoram Highway from Pakistan side.

Mustagh Ata is the only non technical peak of over 7500m in the world. It looms high above the desert landscape close to the famous Karakuli Lake.

Marco Polo was the first western traveler who saw and wrote about this great mountain situated in one of the most remote parts of the world.

If you are a keen adventurer with past trekking experience and are in prime physical condition you can count on climbing the 7546m high summit of Mustag Ata as part of one of our expeditions this summer.


MUSTAG ATA EXPEDITION PROGRAMME (30 DAYS) The programme of Mustag Ata expedition is prepared with our vast knowledge of arranging expeditions in these remote areas since 1987.

Here is a summary of the expedition program which is designed to give you maximum chance of success on this great mountain where most of the other climbers fail due to the simple reason of insufficient high altitude acclimatizing.  


DAY ITINERARY
01 TO 14 Transport from Islamabad to Mustag Ata base camp with an acclimatizing trek to Nanga Parbat base camp and optional ascent of the North and South Juliper peaks. By the time you reach the base camp of Mustagata at 5000m you are fully acclimatized.
15 TO 25 Ascent of Mustag Ata
26 TO 30 Travel back to Islamabad and departure for home country.
