MEMBERS FEEDBACK
If I have to recommend someone to do K2 Basecamp trek, I will recommend them to go with Ascender. It’s not a matter of sales and marketing, it’s a matter of life and death. I will trust my life with Ascender Adventures.
I have done a lot of adventures but this was the best. Unbelievable scenery, amazing people, great memories, you see incredible things and are well taken care of, that pretty much sums it up. Ascender made sure I understood the situation prior to the departure as safety was a priority. At 67 years of age, it took everything I had but it was worth every moment. If you seek adventure, seek K2 and give Ascender Adventures a look. I feel very fortunate I found them.
The services were really excellent, particularly the hard work porters put in. The trek leader was very supportive and accommodating. The provided support was very important and gave the moral boost. I would recommend Ascender Adventures as a company to go with.
Visiting K2, Baltoro and Trango towers had been a dream for me for almost four decades. Alhamdulillah, I was able to fulfill this dream. Thanks to the Ascender team, all of the arrangements were excellent. This trek and the whole journey would not have been possible without the right guidance and continuous motivation from the trek leader. Every step I took was memorable, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you.
The journey to K2 was definitely not easy, but it has been my favorite of all time. This trek truly pushes you out of your comfort zone but the breathtaking views made it all worth it. As a foreigner, some might feel scared, but I have never felt safer—and I can say the same for my friends. Ascender made us feel secure every step of the way. I will highly recommend Ascender Adventures for anyone planning to do the K2 basecamp trek.
