The Broghil valley is linked by a series of forbidden passes to the Oxus Valley and Afghanistan to the north. We will be following the route used from ancient times by the camel caravans of merchants from the bazaars of Central Asia, transporting their wares from Tashkent, Samarkand, and Khokand, The easy-angled Shah Jinali Pass (4215 m) joins the legendary Turikho Valley to the dramatic Yarkhun Valley. From Broghil we will cross the Karamber La (4300 m) a spectacular pass crowned by a string of lakes, to reach the northern reaches of Ishkuman and a complete traverse of the Hindukush and Hindu Raj ranges, starting out on gentle paths, gradually gaining in altitude and increasing in difficulty, the journey culminates in the crossing of the remote Chilinji Pass (5160 m) into northern Hunza. One of the finest trek-only itineraries offered anywhere in the Hindu Kush, this really is a trip for connoisseurs of the outlandish! This classic traverse from Chitral to Chapursan valley and Hunza along the Wakhan corridor is a delightful trek crossing three passes Shah Janali Pass 4215m the Karambar pass 4300m and Chilinji Pass 5200m. The scenery keeps changes dramatically from deep valleys, thundering rivers, and soaring glaciated peaks of the Shah Janali before you emerge on the southern tip of the Pamirs at Broghil and Karambar. In Broghil the boundless plains, lakes, and mountains of the Pamirs of central Asia are literally a stone throw away, and a detour to the crest of Broghil pass reveals a valley that falls away into the fabled Oxus.
