Summary[edit]

Description
English: My friend Ali Hasan standing at Zardgarben campsite 4100m.

As we reached Zardgarben the weather started to get clear and we saw amazing views of surrounding mountains which towers above zardgarben. Zardgarben is the most beautiful campsite i have ever been to and there is a room built by Mirza Ali and there is also a football ground at zardgarben which is above 4000m.

We stayed in the room at night. we have just two porters with us as other porters have to meet us at shopoden base camp. The night was bit un-comfortable with headache as we were not yet acclimatized for the altitude.

We traced the foot steps of "Jenny Visser-Hooft" and her husband "PH. C. Visser" who did this trek in 1925.

Above mentioned couple did a trek from Passu to shimshal in search of the source of Ghujreb river and in that quest they crossed "Chafchingol Pass 5250m", "Maidur Pass 5700m" and finally "Shopoden Pass 5350m" before entering into shimshal valley in 1925. They wrote a book "Among the Karakoram Glaciers" published in 1926 in London.

We did the trek from opposite side crossing "shopoden Pass 5350m" on 8th September and then crossing "Maidur Pass 5700m" on 10th September and became first Pakistanis to cross this pass till this date and finally we crossed our last pass "Chafchingol Pass 5250m" on 14th September and reached kuksil on the same day.

This trek has been completed after 92 years.
