K2 Documentary - The China Route 

Wow, I’ve watched so many K2 docs, idk that I’ve ever saw one on the China route. But I must admit, it is the MOST BEAUTIFUL, amazingly photogenic route I’ve EVER saw! Quite breathtaking.

How is it that a mountain can be so incredibly beautiful, so extremely intimidating, so terrifying & treacherous and so tempting and prized for the elite mountaineers? Well, the truth is K2 is all of those and more. The most magnificent mountain on planet earth!!!

The real heroes are the camels and the one sheep.

My country, China , is so astonishing and magnificent.

What breathtakingly mesmerizing, magnificent, majestic, spectacular, superb, & tantalizingly sublime those mountainous landscapes & its sceneries are in contrast to that vivid clear blue sky!!,,,I've just struck w/ awe by those footages.,,,,It seems it also unfolds us to witness & discern how different, intriguing, & enigmatic our planet is, depending on the regions. Incidentally, the quality of air & water must be superlative, so different from the ones I have here in the urban area of the USA. Due to the above-mentioned, this nature documentary veritably grabs my undivided attention. I wonder if anyone else'd have perceived the same!?,,,,,,Thoroughly enjoy watching, admire, & appreciate it to the core of my heart at the comfort of my home,,,,,From California,,,,,(02/05/23)

Absolutely Stunning Documentary!! One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous brilliant quality pictures and superb music and quality narration. Love this⭐️🏔️

Thank you very much for presenting such a phenomenal beauty of mother earth, "the one and only habitat for humanity",lets preserve this heavenly mother earth before its too late.

Chinese route to K2 ( 8611 meters high ) of Karakorum Range is restricted for foreigners and requires a special permit. Muz-Darya Valley with access to northern slope of K2 came under Chinese control only in 1963 when Pakistan handed over this part of occupied Kashmir to China. Today this Valley is included to Tashkurgan-Tajik autonomous county of Kashgar Prefecture of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of People's Republic of China. Valley is uninhabited excluding of some Kyrgyz nomads that occasionally migrate here. K2 has name of "Chogori" ( Big Mountain ) in Balti language but Balti tribes could be found only in Pakistani side.

Absolutely breathtaking. What I appreciated, besides the filming of such glorious views, was the respectful and gracious attitude of the filmmakers. None of the agro sports commentator vocalizations. This respect extends to all including the Chinese officials. For those of us, due to age and infirmities who will never be able to trek father than the local lake, we thank you sincerely.

Thank you for your excellent K2, Documentary-The China Route between China, and my country Pakistan. very brave travellers, beautiful scenery, extremely hard life with eleven Bactrian Camels. I live in London, England

This route is so spectacular. I have done the pakistan side and that’s epic but this one is just beyond words. True silence as you stated. How beautiful must that be. As close to nature as one can be. That beautiful silence is music like no other. You are so lucky. One day I would love to walk and trek this path if the Chinese allow me. My dream trek this is. Always wondered what the Chinese side would be like and it’s even more spectacular then the pakistan side. It’s so untouched compared to the pakistan side. What a video. Should have a billion views. K2 is really like no other mountains. Best kept secret. Only the best of the best try it. Let’s keep it that way and keep tourism away and pollution as Everest and its issues breaks my heart. What a beautiful time you had. Soooo lucky.

Thank you for this video. It speaks to the soul. Amazing world we live in. Be blessed.

Imagine that you're a tourist stumbling up the K2 glacier, one of the most isolated places on the planet, and you just happen to run into Denis Urubko and his companion descending the glacier after a successful summit! What a lucky group of folks these were. I love this video, and I watch it often. Thanks for the translation and upload!

what an epic journey! It's almost like a spiritual walk. I got so humble watching this.

K2 from Pakistan ❤❤

vry amazng i have never seen before...i thnk the local population behind k2 qarqand side are ancient baltis whose migratd from baltistan of pakistan through glaciers treks...love from skardu..

I found the bustling city center scenes of Kashghar utterly fascinating. Apart from the modern conveniences of cars, fridges, etc. it looks like the people have kept their ancient cultural way of everyday life unchanged. Very cool

phantastisch, epic ! Thank you

Amazing work

The 🐫 may think at times they are going to a new promise Land over the mountains.🎃🎃🎆🎆✨

Everest is like a walk in the park. K2 is the king of all mountains 🏔. More people have been to space then the Summit of K2.

Everrest seems like a picnic compared to the north face of K2.

Is that Denis? Wonderful video, the best side of the mountain, seldom seen

Captain Young Husband of British Indian Army passed through this area in 1928. He crossed the Muztagh Towers.

Great documentary ! Question, what do the camels eat on the journey ?

Good

Mountains of mountain

Love the camel 😍

Amazing! Beyond words! Not sure if I like your choice of music though.

Very nice Pink Floyd song in the beginning✌️🙏

What a documentary. Fantastic.. Any person reached k2 from chinese side?

Thanks you I am Askole the gate way of K2

El documental en español Gracias

Beautiful place 😍 nice video. Be in touch

Actually K2 is also called chhogori in local Balti language as well which comes under Tibetan languages so you know name is similar in both sides, it's just that Westerns started calling it K2 so it became something else but in local language it's called chhogori and urdu it's called Lamba Pahar means Tall Mountain

Great place corny film

What trek is this? How do we go there?

25:20 King is visible .

Can someone tell me. How can we approach from the China side? Any guide or company name

I noticed the finished roof on the xolumned structure... What does that mean for Western antiquity???

The other climbers 🧗‍♂️ looked like they have been on the mountain for a while. They were looking a bit thin. The other thing is how the hell did they get up there? The video made it look like they walked in and out.

Savage Mountain❤❤❤

if any one have plans to explore this un touch beauty am in

Bro can I use a small part of your video... please reply

like a dream

Segala puji hanya bagi Allah Tuhan yang mentadbir seluruh alam semesta Asalam tali persaudaraan Islam tidak menjadi penghadang buat semua keluarga ku walau di mana pun mereka berada 🤚🤝💟👍

There should be life because there is water...

K2 is located in northern province of gilgit baltistan ,not in kashmir while Azad jammu and kashmir is small part of Kashmir liberated from Hindustan by Pakistan while remaining in illegal occupation of Hindustan since 1947 which located on south eastern region of k2 🗻🌲🍁🌙🙏😢❤🌏

Great video wow! Who are the narrators?

It's not in China & Kashmir part controlled by Pakistan. It's on Border of China & Pakistan and can only be hiked from Pakistan. Nowhere it says that it's in part of Kashmir, update yourself.

I didn’t realize this video is only of trekking not climbing.
