A mobile tower has been installed at the base camp of K2, the world's second highest peak.
Mobile phones can now be used on K2 as well. The Special Communication Organization, a government agency providing telecommunication facilities in border areas, has installed a mobile tower in collaboration with the Gilgit-Baltistan government. The initiative is aimed at providing modern communication technology to peak tourists. The installation of a mobile tower will not only make it easier for climbers to communicate with their team during the adventure, but also in case of an emergency. Timely assistance will also be provided by the concerned authorities. In addition, the installation of the mobile tower will enable climbers and tourists to connect with their friends and family.
