This is the wonderful scenery of Shimshal village in late October, enveloped in the golden, yellow, red shades of Autumn. Livestock have returned from Pamir and the village is ready for a tough winter ahead.
The yaks who returned from Pamir were in the field. Large males and some females remain in the Pamir over winter. It is a tradition to survive the cold and tough winter with limited food.
A sunny day, good for washing! Shimshal village on a warm sunny day.
Karun Koh seen from the Shimshal valley. The altitude of Karun Koh peak is 6,977m, 7,164m, or 7,350m depending on the documents.
Just outside the Shimshal village, there are Molonguti Glacier and Disthagil Sar 7,885m. From here we drive off the valley for 3 hours to reach the mighty Karakoram Highway near Passu.
