The name was applied by European explorers, and comes from this location's similarity to a glacial confluence, also named Concordia, in the Bernese Oberland, part of the Central Alps.
Around Concordia are clustered some of the highest peaks in the world. Four of the world's fourteen "eight-thousanders" are in this region, as well as a number of important lower peaks.
Concordia offers the region's best place to camp for mountain
enthusiasts not involved in climbing. With scenic views, it also offers
short treks to several important base camps: K2 (5–6 hours), Broad Peak
(2–3 hours) and the Gasherbrum I&II (7–8 hours). An alternative exit
to returning down the Baltoro Glacier is available by climbing the Gondogoro Pass
(5615 meters). Visitors to the region are advised to carefully monitor
their water intake with concern. To avoid often painful and sometimes
debilitating stomach upsets at high altitude, water should be obtained
from clear water sources and brought to a rolling boil, or purified
before consumption.

extreme north of Pakistan along the borders of China. Pakistan bears
five of the tallest 14 mountain peaks of the world, and four of these
can be seen from Concordia.

Chandragupta Maurya (reign: 321–298 BCE) was the founder of the Maurya Empire in ancient India. He was born in a humble family, orphaned and abandoned, raised as a son by another pastoral family, was picked up, taught and counselled by Chanakya, the author of the Arthashastra. Chandragupta thereafter built one of the largest empires ever in the Indian subcontinent. According to Jain sources, he then renounced it all, and became a monk in the Jain tradition. Chandragupta is claimed, by the historic Jain texts, to have followed Jainism in his life, by first renouncing all his wealth and power, going away with Jaina monks into the Deccan region (now Karnataka), and ultimately performing Sallekhana – the Jain religious ritual of peacefully welcoming death by fasting. His grandson was emperor Ashoka, famous for his historic pillars and for his role in helping spread Buddhism outside of ancient India. Chandragupta's life and accomplishments are described in ancient Hindu, Buddhist and Greek texts, but they vary significantly in details from the Jaina accounts. Megasthenes served as a Greek ambassador in his court for four years. In Greek and Latin accounts, Chandragupta is known as Sandrokottos and Androcottus.
