Shimshal pamir trek Gojal (upper Hunza)

Altitude: 5150 m. Max.
Season: June – Sep.
Duration: 13 – 17 Days.
Zone: Open

Introduction: 


Shimshal valley lies east of Hunza, tucked amid rugged mountains, glaciers and high passes, making it the most remote inhabited area of the Karakorum range. In 1936 the British political agent in Gilgit called it “the most remote settlement in the Empire.” It retains a similar status even today. Its upper valleys are ideal for trekkers and mountaineers, but like many other parts of the Karakorum, this region has not yet been properly explored.
