Minglig Sar. Shimshal gojal

Minglig Sar (6050m) stands proudly in the Shimshal Valley of Gojal Hunza, overlooking the neighboring Kun Lun mountain range in China. Situated near Shimshal Lake at the base, close to the Shimshal Pass (4735m), this majestic peak offers a thrilling adventure for trekkers and climbers alike.

Embarking on the journey to Minglig Sar takes adventurers through the rugged beauty of the Shimshal gorge, near the Wakhan Corridor, and into the high pasturelands of the Pamirs. Along the way, travelers are treated to breathtaking views of large herds of yaks, sheep, goats, and occasional sightings of ibex grazing on the lush grasslands. The area is also known for its elusive snow leopard population, adding to the sense of wilderness and adventure.

The trek unfolds through steep passes, awe-inspiring glaciers, serene lakes, and picturesque valleys. The historical significance of the Shimshal Pass, once a vital route for trade caravans between China and India, adds a layer of intrigue to the journey.

Starting from Shimshal Valley (3000m), the trek progresses through Wuch Furzeen (3365m) and Shuijherav (4350m), each offering their own unique landscapes and challenges. Finally, reaching Shimshal Pass, trekkers are rewarded with stunning views of a crystal icy lake, providing an ideal campsite for acclimatization before attempting the summit of Minglig Sar.

While climbing Minglig Sar from Shimshal Pass is possible in a single day for those with good physical fitness and acclimatization, success also depends on favorable weather conditions. The summit offers an unforgettable experience, with the possibility of catching a glimpse of the North Face of K2 on the distant southeastern horizon, adding to the allure and excitement of the expedition.
