Shigar valley the valley of mighty K2
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.
