Misgar lies up a side valley from Sost and is one of the most remote villages in Gojal. The valley leads towards the Mintaka Pass, on the border with China, which is not a crossing for ordinary travellers. The road is rough, and the village is reached only in the summer months.

It suits travellers who want a quiet, off-the-road visit, and it is usually combined with Sost and the Khunjerab Pass. We arrange it with a local driver and guide.

## Highlights
