Shigar Valley

Shigar Valley is located in Shigar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Just beyond the left turn from the Skardu highway lies Shigar Valley, a mesmerizing confluence where the icy blue waters of the Braldo River, fed by the Baltoro Glacier, merge into the green currents of the Indus.

From above, the blend of deep blues, greens, and earthy browns resembles an abstract masterpiece painted on nature’s vast canvas. The road continues through Shigar’s dreamlike terrain to the last inhabited village, Askole, the legendary gateway for trekkers bound for K2 and Broad Peak.
