Handarap Valley Ghizer Gilgit-Baltistan

Gilgit-Baltistan has unique and of its kinds of places which you would never find in other parts of the world. The region is where world's three mightiest mountain ranges (Himalaya, Karakorum, Hindukush) merge and the whole region is mountainous and full of glacier spanned over miles. The mountains are bald because very less rain is observed in the region and of course the mountains are rocky and towering, standing thousands of meter above sea level.
The beautiful thing is, although most of the places consist of ravines but some places are vast and beautiful. Skardu, Deosai plains in Skardu, Shigar valley and Handarap valley in Ghizer are the example of such places. These areas are spanned over miles and tourists are crowded in these areas especially in summer.

The valley is located on the Gilgit-Shandur Road on the bank of Gilgit River. Nearby tourist attractions are Phandar Valley and Handarap Lake.
