Shigar Valley Pakistan....... وادی پاکستان Shigar

The Shigar Valley is a valley in Baltistan in northern
Pakistan that is watered by the Shigar River.
The valley stretches about 170 km from Skardu to
Askole and is the gateway to the high mountains
of the Karakoram. The town of Shigar is the largest
settlement in valley. Even though the Shigar Valley
is a remote and largely inaccessible place, there
are several villages in the valley. Askole is the last
settlement in the Shigar Valley, which is still far from
the high mountains. Shigar was formerly an administrative
sub-division of Skardu District, but is now a district in
its own right.
