Ghizer Valley, A Discovered Hideaway For Thrill Seekers

The Ghizer Valley, also known as Ghiyas Valley, is a remarkable destination to explore in Pakistan’s Gilgit Baltistan region. One of the explanations the Ghizer Valley is such a popular spot is because it is home to Phander Lake, which is one of the nation’s largest freshwater lakes, at 4,500 feet above sea level and covering an area of 29 square kilometers (11 square miles) and located at a high elevation of 2552 metres (8459 feet).

Historical places to visit in Ghizer Valley

Gupis Fort is in Gilgit Baltistan‘s Ghizer District. The fort was established in 1805 by British conquerors. The Fort features residence sections, shops, detention centers, and workplaces, all of which are enclosed by an anti-invasion wall. The Gilgit Scout and Northern Light Infantry used the fort for a while. Due to a lack of care and attention, the mediaeval fort is currently disintegrating.

Gahkuch Fort is one of Ghizer’s most picturesque and historically significant villages. It’s a lovely village surrounded by hills and glaciers. Chilla Shuwarun, Kalmakoi, Shawotai Khat, Gahkuch Fort (Defense Tower Gahkuch), Zeerati Thoko, Xaramarik, and Sujo Thoko are only a few of the historical sites in Gahkuch. The Gahkuch fort is Gilgit Baltistan’s earliest fort. Gahkuch has been the capital of many emperors, and it is a highly safe place for defense and security.

Yasin Fort, also known as Dorkhand Fort, is perhaps the most magnificent and largest fort in Gilgit Baltistan. It was built in the 15th century during the reign of Shah Khoshwaqt, a nobleman of the Khoshwaqt Dynasty. Many ancient wars have been fought between the kings of Wakhan and Afghanistan and the Maharaja of Kashmir and Chinese invaders. One of most notable fight took place in 1862, following the death of Raja Ghazi Goharman, when Dogra forces captured Yasin and abolished this fort as well as Muddori Fort.
