This Garam chashma (Hot Spring) Darkut Yasin Valley, Pakistan

This Garam chashma (Hot Spring)about 5 to 6 miles from Darkot valley of Yasin Side. Stream is very hot. You can fill the tub with the help of the pipes and let it cool for half an hour then you can sit and relax and watch the glaciers infront of you. The best bath tub I ever sat in.

Nazbar Pass yasin Valley

Nazbar Pass  (4980m) links Naz Bar, a south- west tributary of the Yasin Valley, to the Bahushtaro Gol, a northern tributary of the Ghizar River. This steep route is infrequently trekked and is not used by local people. The pass isn’t glaciated, but has a brief Class 2 section at its top and a permanent cornice on its east side. It also receives strong winds. This trek is not for novice trekkers, nor for organized trekking parties. Rather, it’s a challenging alternative route west from the Yasin Valley through rarely visited country.

Mountaineers heading for the 5000m peaks around Mashpar Gol and Kano Gol in upper Bahushtaro Gol may choose the Naz Bar An approach for acclimatization. Naz Bar An is often crossed in conjunction with Zagaro An (P), northern Pakistan’s two most difficult non-glaciated passes.
