shah jinali pass trek
Shah Jinali An (4259m) is a Pass linking the Rich Gol’s north end to Yashkist is the upper Yarkhun Valley, which is wider, flatter and more cultivated. This popular and relatively easy pass parallels the Afghan border less than 8km from the Wakhan Corridor. This trek is often combined with at least one other trek. We combine Shah Jinali trek with the Darkot and Thui Passes to the Gilgit, moderate trekking offers dramatic views of 6000m mountains.
