Bagrot Valley Getting there & around

Getting there & away

From Garhi Bagh in Gilgit, cargo jeeps go in the early morning to Chirah via Dainyor in under an hour. A better bet is to go by Suzuki to Dainyor, where you can pick up a ‘special’ taxi to Chirah (Rs 70). Avoid jeeps to Sinakkar, which isn’t far enough. Travel Walji’s (05811-52665; www.waljis.com; Airport Rd) in Gilgit organises overnight trips and local hikes. Expect to pay Rs 2500 for the jeep and driver.
