Day Ten – Rest Day – Mashabrum Hotel, Skardu

The Mashabrum hotel and the city of Skardu is the stepping off point for expeditions to K2 (Chondra)

Early breakfast with Michael Strauss

LUMIX camera dried out from dunk in water crossing and works fine!

Visited the Italian K2 museum which is housed in an actual expedition base camp tent

Climbed a terrifyingly steep and narrow cliff trail 1400 meters up to Kharphocho Fort

Kebab for lunch back at the hotel

Went to The Cold Desert to watch the sunset
Laid on my back in the sand and stared up at the stars.

Long drive up the road we came in on to Lakeview Motel for dinner of BBQ trout and Chicken
