The end of the road 2

The end of the road 2
HFF from one of the remotest corners of the planet. These are the stone corrals for livestock at 4000 meters, here in the Karakoram. No one lives here permanently, only shepherds temporarily for 3-4 months of the year. This is at the rear of the mudbrick homes near the BabaGhundi Sufi shrine high in the Chipurson Valley of Pakistan right in the Afghan border. It is a high altitude summer pasture with the rear mountains being Afghanistan, and the river flows from them. There is no further vehicle access after the long difficult track to get here. Foot passage only over precipitous passes gets you into the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful week ahead. Thanks for any visits…much appreciated

I love this wild and ruggedly beautiful landscape Diana with the corrals and few stone buildings the only evidence of any sort of existence up there. It must be a hard life but the few months the shepherds live up here must give them a feeling of peace and serenity,

Well captured

HFF and have a good weekend
