Shimshal Pass Trek is one of Pakistan's most incredible excursions. Shimshal Pass is located in one of northern Pakistan's most desolate regions.

Shimshal Valley, located at an elevation of 4700m, is approximately 800 kilometers from Islamabad through the Karakoram Highway (KKH). Shimshal Pass is also known as Pamir pastures by the locals, who use it for grazing their herds of sheep, yaks, and other domestic animals for 6 months. At Shimshal Pass, one can see high-altitude peaks such as Minglik Sar (6000m or more). The summits provide excellent training for spring mountaineers and climbers.

Holiday Overview
Shimshal Pass Trek has breathtaking natural splendor. Lakes and marshes can be found in the area, including one right below Minglik Sar Peak. Shimshal Pass Lake is a pretty significant body of water. The lake is surrounded on one side by thin grass and on the other by thicker vegetation. Braldo pass separates Snowlake from Shimshal pass. On a lucky day when the skies are clear, one of the main draws of this trekking excursion is the view of the gigantic K2 and many other 7000m peaks.
Every year, hundreds of foreign tourists from all over the world come to Shimshal Pass for trekking and yak safaris. Camping at the pass allows visitors to mingle with the mountain villages and shepherds that live there, as well as sample natural and organic dairy products. As a symbol of hospitality, the shepherds serve this to all guests.
