Pakistan trekking questions

Hey guys

Firstly, hope you dont mind me asking a question about pakistan, its only an extension of my india trip

Anyway, im thinking of doing a long trek in pakistan and got a few things you might be able to answer
1) Which trek would you prefer to do, the concordia, gondogoro la trek or the biafo hispar snow lake trek?
2) Would I need to use crampons, ice axes for either of these treks, and if I do, is it too hard to pick up without any experience of ice climbing, or climbing for that matter?
3) What kind of boot would I need? would it have to be able to take c2 crampons (think their called semi automatic or something) or just c1 crampons?
4) How crazy would it be to do either of these treks for someone who has no experience of proper mountains, has only treked the annupurna circuit but has all the proper equipment?

Thanks a lot, any help would be great
