Introducing Hushe & Masherbrum Views
Those who would like to see the gorgeous 7821m massif of Masherbrum without trekking to it could try and walk up the Shyok Valley road past the police checkpoint and the turn-off to Hushe Valley towards Surmo. Although at the time of writing the police at Khaplu were not allowing this little excursion, it is worth attempting with a local guide. As the Hushe Valley opens up, Masherbrum looms into view at its head, an unforgettable sight. It’s a flat, hot 6km walk past Brok Lungma and Yuchung village to the best viewpoint, at a turn in the road. Surmo, 3km on, is usually as far as foreigners can go towards the Siachen Glacier.
