Situated in the heart of the Karakoram range in Shimshal, the remotest valley in the whole range. The mountains are some of the toughest, with some of the high virgin peaks lying here. You start the trip in Islamabad and drive on the legendary Karakoram Highway to Skardu, Askolil, from where we take soft-top 4×4 jeeps to enter to reach the main village – Askoli in the valley. From the village it is 11 days trek to the summer settlement, towering above 6050m Peak Manglik Sar and two lakes and flower-filled meadows roamed by Yaks. After resting at meadows, we take a 2 days trek toward Chikar the right over Shimshal Pass then reached Shimshal village.
