Gears & Costs
Thank you for your interest in supporting my No War movement to advocate for world peace and empowering women around the world through the climb of K2 and Broad Peak in Pakistan in Summer 2025.
In addition to securing the necessary permits, I am undergoing rigorous mental and physical training.
If you’ve ever dreamed of climbing one of the 14 peaks that soar over 8000 meters, I invite you to explore the detailed breakdown of the costs involved, including gear, flights, and insurance. Here, you'll find a structured overview of the estimated expenses for the K2 and Broad Peak expedition, with ranges reflecting typical market prices. Your support to put up our "No War" message on the Savage Mountain means the world to us on this incredible journey!
