Name

CKNP Core Zone trekking permit (Baltoro)

Issued by

Central Karakoram National Park

Notes

CKNP: entering the Core Zone (Baltoro, Biafo, Hispar, Snow Lake, Hushe) requires a CKNP trekking permit, processed at the Skardu office or Askole/Hushe checkpoints (https://www.cknp.org/visiting-cknp-permits-season-logistics/, checked 2026-09-11). The permit itself is free. A per-person park fee is paid at the same office; the 2026 rate is described as approximately PKR 2,000 per foreign trekker (half for Pakistani nationals) — that is an approximate live tariff, not copied here as a statute amount. Confirm at the office. Solo trekking is not permitted in the Core Zone: minimum one registered porter; groups of three or more need a registered guide. A liaison officer is described on that page under mountaineering permits for peaks above 6,500 m, not for this walking trek — not asserted here. Expedition royalties (K2 / Gasherbrum / Broad Peak) are summit climbing and are not this record.
