DAY 4: DRIVE TO HUSHE (3,050m) 6 HOURS DRIVE:

Today we continue our journey by jeep on a spectacular road beside the River Indus to the village of Hushe. We make a reasonably early start from Skardu, crossing the Indus and Shyok River to begin an exciting 4-hour jeep ride up to Hushe, through Khapulu and several small and picturesque villages in the lower Hushe Valley. En route, we must cross several ‘nullahs’ or small tributary valleys. These nullahs are fed by meltwaters from the glaciers high above the valley and can become impassable by the afternoon as the hot sun goes to work. Our early start from Skardu means that we should not have any problems in this respect. Hushe is the highest village in the area at 3050 metres and we set up our camp in a field just below the village with the huge bulk of Masherbrum (7821m) dominating the valley to the north.
