They did ski on Gasherbrum-II 8035m. But they could not make ski on Laila from the top. But they ski down from 200 meters below the summit on this beautiful mountain. After an unsuccessful ski trip, Fredrik and Jorgen went up to G-2.
A short Story of Laila Peak Expedition
They described its height as 6614m and said that Laila Peak is one of the most impressive mountains they have ever seen. A needle, it points straight up in the sky. Its northwest flank has a steepness of 45-50 degrees in more than 1500 vertical meters. Early in the morning, they start from base camp at 5000m.
They continued climbing up the slopes of Laila, and at sunrise, they saw the magnificent view of K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum. They continue for eight hours, and now the terrain got steeper and steeper, only a thin layer of snow is covering the slopes.
One hundred fifty meters from the summit, they felt no way they could ski in these icy conditions and decided to turn around. It was more than 1500 meters vertical meters down to the bottom. The lower part of Laila Peak is cover with soft snow; the upper part is cover with a thin layer of ice; it is mixed ice climbing and rock climbing peak.

Tour Reviews
Our Laila Peak Expedition with Visit in Pakistan Tours in July 2021 was an unforgettable adventure. The support staff and guides were experienced and knowledgeable, and they made sure we were well-prepared and safe throughout the expedition. The climb itself was challenging, but the breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys made it all worth it. The campsite locations were stunning, and the food provided by the support staff was delicious and nutritious. Overall, the Laila Peak Expedition with Visit in Pakistan Tours was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to any experienced climbers looking for a new challenge in the Karakoram range.
Thanks for any other informative website. Where else may just I get that type of info written in such an ideal approach?

hello!,I really like your writing very a lot! The trek itself given us a spectacular experience to stay over glacier, beneath the towering Laila Peak. It was amazing to experience with Visit in Pakistan travel agency.
Taking a look forward to coming back to you.
Wow, this piece of writing is fastidious, my sister was analyzing such things, since last year. She finally went last this year to see it. She is very happy to be there at Base camp.
We were a group from Poland last summer to explore the Charagusa Valley and K6 of Northern Pakistan. We found Mr Ghulam Nabi after some search for tour agencies. We booked with him and the 20 days long journey in Pakistan was wonderful and gave lifelong memories. The most part of this journey was we found a rare world, unique landscapes and innocent people living peacefully far away from hustle of city life. We recommend this area to be visited once in a life must and this company “Visit in Pakistan Tour” is amazing. They know the area well and their words are matched.
The northern Pakistan founds a rare part on this planet. Majestic mountains, beautiful people, nice, neat and clean atmosphere and peaceful way of life. A must do trek to this region. Highly recommended this travel agency as they know how to do their job.
Hi, this is Rickey from Australia. We had a tour with Visit in Pakistan last summer. Everything we planned was perfect with them. They masterly organized everything for us. Highly recommended.
The land of Pakistan and Northern region is absolutely breathtaking. Super beautiful Laila Peak, Masherbrum and Hushe Valley.
