Misgar

Misgar lies in the high country north of Hunza, beneath the routes to the Kilik and Mintaka passes. These passes formed part of the old caravan roads between the upper Indus region and Tashkurgan, on the way to the Tarim Basin. Snow-covered ridges separate the valley from the lands beyond, while paths through the mountains allowed merchants and travellers to cross between the Pamirs and the Hunza country.
