The road to Shimshal…the better parts
Shimshal is a very remote valley in far North Pakistan. It is at 3500meters in the high Pamirs, near the border with China. It saw its first car in 2003 when the locals built a 57 km road to connect with the Karakoram Highway. Prior to that all goods were portered in via a perilous Silk Route track high on the cliffs, with terrifying river crossings. My husband hiked in along that track in 1989 so we wanted to check out the valley today…where he met some people he first encountered then.
Then road here has a drop into a raging river on one side, and rock overhangs on the other. We did it in, and out again.

Diana Australis club has replied to Yves SaulnierIn ter ess ting... Is most of the 57Km of road cut into the mountain like this? Does it get snowed in during winter? How do people there make a living?
Diana Australis club has replied to GrahamH clubPeople are subsistence farmers and herders. Food is stored for winter and animals are brought down from very high summer pastures to winter in pens. Wolves, snow leopards and bears are a winter hazard.
