    Map/Route – Khurdopin La Pass Trek – Shimshal to Hispar

    Why start/begin from Shimshal Valley?

    We highly recommend and plan the above trek from Shimshal Valley. There are many factors linked to a successful crossing of high mountain passes around Shimshal/SnowLake/Nobande-Sobande area. Based on facts and past experiences, we have the following observations:
    1. The approach to the passes around Snow lake are better on the Shimshal side.
    2. Shimshal is the land of brave mountaineers and tough High Altitude Porters/Climbers (HAP/Cs). It is mostly Shimshalis who have explored new routes in the past and who like getting involved in challenging adventures first.
    3. Shimshalis are educated, reasonable and better understand the topics related to safety and security on the mountains.
    4. Shimshali climbers/guides are rated top in terms of communication and leadership in the mountains which is essential to this adventure.
