Any peak under 6000 meters is considered a trekking peak in Pakistan. Trekking peaks are somewhat limited in the Karakoram. I was there last year and let me tell you, the easy peaks are not legion. Look for more info here:

You might also consider doing Spantik (aprox: 7070m).

There are a few trekking peaks in the Hushe Valley that are around 6000 meters, and the Ghondogoro La is supposed to be an amazing hike - the pass is at 5700 meters.
Otherwise, Spantik is a good idea if you want to up the ante a bit. The SE Ridge was first climbed by Germans in 1955 and is fairly non-technical. Field Touring in Australia runs trips there every year - you could query them for more info.
Of course, you could always repeat the Golden Pillar on Spantik, climbed by Mick Fowler in 1987. :D
