Trekking - Shimshal to Manglik Sar and Sonia peak

[parapilot]

[Ace]

The terrain looks more like planet Mars than Earth.

Amazing geography and amazing effort.

[parapilot]

Lunch time.... Can't remember the name of the place. I think its Arbab Parain.

Preeto and Ranoo exhausted after the hike.

Ace G, the beauty of the area starts after Shunjrab. Shimshal pass or Pamir as local call it, is all green. Before it is a barren land with lots of acents and decents.

Tough climb ahead...

Where does this door leads to????

[parapilot]

Can you locate people in last two snaps???

[parapilot]

DeeDee and Basharatu, It would be an interesting sight to see two Mogs and other jeeps at Shimshal. It is a tough and worthy track.

parapilot thx bro will seek advice from you to gear up for the tour

[DeeDee]

Preeto going strong..

wow man.... what abt oxy intake?

[parapilot]

DeeDee, Kahir to hay na. Oxygen ki kia zaroorat par gai???

Normally sevre oxygen shortage is observed at around the altitude of 7000m. The track altiude is max at around 4300m.

It would be fun, I think we can do it in 10-12 days, Mountains are not about high speed driving & time consumed by Jeep & Mog will almost be equal.

Where does this door leads to????

The wood seems to be at least 300 years old (max we can go back in past history ), I can’t see any sign of water so this was abandoned due to this reason like few other villages of the valley which got dried due to no water from the glacier channels.

Goo Going @parapilot, waiting for tonight's upload.

To me this is one of the most remote tracks we have & I can’t wait for summer & if I die before doing it than pls nasb a kutba of my name near this door

[Basharatu]

@parapilot

Great Quality of pictures & U are doing slow poisoning :P, anyways I am loving it & want this thread to cover the track thoroughly - Good going!
