We propose you the trek is going from Gilgit to Ghizer, Ghizer is area West of Gilgit to the Shandur Pass leading to Chitral. The mountains here are lower and the passes are greener and gentler then in the high Karakorum round Skardu and Hunza. Few tourists come this way. Within this program we will do pass from Naltar Valley (altitude 2880m) through the Naltar Pass (altitude 4600 m) to Ishkoman Valley and to Yasin through Asumbar Pass (4510m altitude).
Hidden in the mountains – up a dramatic, barren gorge 19 km long – is the surprisingly green and lush valley of Naltar. The valley is heavily wooden with pine, spruce, bitch, rowan and juniper.
The Ishkoman Valley devides the Karakorum Range from the Hindu Kush. Incorporated into Pakistan in 1972, Ishkoman was vassal principality of Chitral in recent centuries. The population is mostly Ismaili Muslim. Most people speak Shina (the language of Gilgit), Khowar (the language of Chitral) and Wakhan (the language of Waghan).
Yasin Valley until 20th century was an important kingdom controlling the shortest and easiest rout between the Oxus (Amu Darya River) and Indus valleys. The people of Yasin speak Burushaski, an aboriginal language (Yasin is also known as Wurshigoom, meaning the land of Burushi), ruling class also speak Khowar. Shina and Urdu are also spoken.
