No doubt despite their remoteness Shimshalis have been at the forefront when it comes to mountaineering in Pakistan. Their valley before 2001 was a three day walk by foot which turned into three hours after the villagers themselves took the initiative to work day and night on this road to connect it to the Karakorum highway.
Lovely video about the Shimshal Valley & the people & it's history. Very many thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn about the Shimshal & to see the wonderful photos & scenery.
Thank you sharing such a beautiful video i belong from shimshal valley but literally i didn't know my Village History because of I didn't live there.... I would like to thanks the person who owe this channel that you give me the knowledge about my history ❤❤
Amazing new story. Same old man told me in '95 that they are all descendants of convicted people from Mir of Hunza and Shimshal was used as a prison due to its inhospitable/remote/inaccessible nature. Most (but not all) of these prisoners were of political nature. They made their own road in 2003 i believe.
highlight that the community is deeply isolated in political representations because of lesser in numbers . This is the most progressive community in gilgit baltistan.
They actually have a project about it. However you have to remember that the valley lies at more than 3000m above see level, so not a lot of plants grow that high naturally.
Video deserves to be liked. and deserves to be watched in the whole world.
very impressive work. all the best.
Thank you very much!

So a valley of convicts?
@@IndoPakCanvas Majority is political enemies, since the area was kingdom before 1947.
That’s interesting! I hadn’t heard about that

You can really feel it!
They need to plant more trees
They actually have a project about it. However you have to remember that the valley lies at more than 3000m above see level, so not a lot of plants grow that high naturally.
