The valley stretches about 170km from [[Skardu]] to [[Askole]] and is the gateway to the high mountains of the [[Karakoram]]. Even though the '''Shigar Valley''' is a remote and largely inaccessible place, there are several villages in the valley. [[Askole]] is the last settlement in '''Shigar Valley''', which is still far from the high mountains. ==External links== *[http://www.pbase.com/arifakhan/shigar_valley Photos from Shigar by Arif A Khan] *[http://www.henkbos.com/gallery2/Travel/20050920_BTS/shigar/ Photos from Shigar by Henk Bos] {{Pakistan-geo-stub}} {{coor title dm|35|26|N|75|44|E|region:PK_type:city}} [[Category:Cities and towns in Northern Areas, Pakistan]] [[Category:Valleys of Pakistan]]
