Yes — participants should have prior high‑altitude climbing or guided expedition experience; the climb phase involves technical alpine terrain and glacier hazards.
Most itineraries route through Skardu by flight from Islamabad (weather dependent) or by road on the Karakoram Highway; from Skardu you drive to Askole to begin the trek.
Foreign visitors need a valid passport with appropriate visas and expedition permits from Pakistani authorities—organizers typically handle permit logistics and local liaison.
