The most – frequented approach to K6 Base Camp is from Kande
Village which is half-way up Hushe Valley. There is a footbridge
over the Hushe river that you cross to reach the Nagmah River on
the north of Mingyulu village. Keep walking along the bank of
the river till you arrive the Nangmah summer pastures. The BC is
on the north-west edge of the Nangmah glacier. The valley is
surrounded by steep granite walls that seem to meet in the sky.
The stark beauty of this place is awesome. The entire journey
from Kande village to BC comprises 3 stages which takes two days
to reach. The same stages are repeated on the return journey. K6
was first climbed in 1970 by an expedition of Austrian Alpine
Club.
