Shimshal is a large Wakhi-speaking village supported by vast herds of sheep, goats and yaks that are moved up and down the valley with the seasons. These traditional migrations provide the basis for some of Gojal’s most exquisite trekking. Remote Shimshal was closed to visitors until 1986, after which increasing numbers of adventurers braved the mountain trail through the narrow Shimshal gorge. It was from upper Shimshal, even as late as the 1890s, that raiders harried caravans heading to Kashmir. In 2003 a jeep road was inaugurated that finally linked Shimshal village to the KKH.
