across the river is a 4900 meter ridge offering the best views of all: a
panorama from Sust to Shiskat, the entire length over 20 km of the assu Glacier
and the highest Peaks of the Batura Mauzatagh. This is an over night trip, and
only for the very fit. It’s probably best done in early autumn when the risk
of sudden storms is low, but it would be a good idea to talk to local people be
for you go.
Cross
the suspension bridge and on, which climbs, via tiny Kharamabad village, steeply
up a side canyon. At the top, a full day’s strenuous hiking away and almost as
high as the Khunjerab Pass itself. Is a shallow pass called Abdegar, a sublime
(through very cold) place to see the sun come up?
