'''Shigar''' is a valley and a town in [[Baltistan]] near [[Skardu]] in northern [[Pakistan]] that is watered by [[Shigar River]]. 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.
