Yasin

Yasin is a high valley in the Hindu Kush, following the river of the same name north of Gilgit. Mountain passes lead from here towards the Yarkhun valley and Broghil, opening a route towards Wakhan. Yasin was a centre of Worshigum under the Khushwaqt dynasty, whose rulers came from Chitral. A branch of the family established its authority in neighbouring Punial, linking the two valleys through their ruling houses.
