The first day of hiking wasn’t too tough. 20 km on flat ground with some nice scenery in the distance and a few wild rose bushes here and there. This was essentially a warm up day. Everyone commented on the beauty of the mountains, and they were beautiful even at such a distance. The hike to the heart of the Karakoram had begun. Camp that night was cool..maybe 10-15C..fairly comfortable. Plus we were still sleeping on hard land. Baltoro glacier awaited.
