The Shimshal Minglik Sar Trek offers an unparalleled adventure in the heart of the Hunza Valley.
Renowned for its towering peaks like Distaghil Sar (7,885m), Shimshal White Horn (6,303m), Minglik
Sar (6,050m), and Yazghail Sar (6,000m), this trek is a dream for mountaineers and nature
enthusiasts alike. The region's colossal glaciers, including Khurdopin, Yazghail, and Malangudhi,
further enhance its appeal. Shimshal, the largest village in Hunza, is also famous for its vast
pasturelands and the scenic Shimshal Pamir Lake.
Shimshal has produced renowned mountaineers, such as Samina Baig, the first Pakistani woman to scale
Mt. Everest and all the highest peaks on each continent. The region is home to the Wakhi-speaking
people, known for their warm hospitality.
