This spectacular trek takes us to one of the most remotely inhabited areas of the Karakoram. To find Hunza traditions still alive, you need to travel to more difficult and remote valleys like Shimshal.
Our jeep driver takes us through all of the Hunza Valley to the beginning of the trek. The trail begins, climbing past rugged mountains, through a narrow gorge, which opens up at the Shimshal Village. About 120 families of 1000 Shimshal people, all of them Ismaili, live in the hamlets surrounded by terraced and irrigated fields. Spend a free day for exploration before your out-bound trek on the same route.
The courageous and well-acclimatized can cross over Chapchingal Pass (5150 m) down to Kuksel Stream, and back to the Karakoram Highway below Khunjerab Pass. This rewarding trek takes you to Zargarbin Pass (4600 m) and Shimshal Pass (4735 m) and the high pasture lands worth visiting. It is home to endangered wildlife species such as snow leopards, wolf, blue sheep, ibex, and Marco polo sheep. This region is now called Khunjerab National Park.
