Hushe Valley

Hushe Valley

The Hushe Valley is a valley in the Ghanche District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Formed by the Hushe River, the valley runs from Masherbrum Mountain (at 7,821 meters) and nearby glaciers south to the Shyok River, opposite Khaplu. Hushe village lies in the center of the valley. The valley is known for the surrounding high mountains of the Karakoram range, including several peaks above six thousand meters, like Laila Peak, K6, and K7. The Murtaza peak is 5100m just behind K6 base camp and is considered the epicenter of trackers and beginners.
