Mustagh Ata - August 2006
|
The least you can say about Mt Mustagh Ata, is that it has a fine neighborhood : at the south, the Karakoram range, at the east, Tajikistan and the Pamir range, at the west, Taklamakan desert ("if you go in you don't come out" in Uyghur language) and at the north Tien Shan mountains and the fabled city of Kashgar. This is also a famous mountain for alpinists who can go down skiing thanks to (relativly) gentle slopes. But to really appreciate it nothing is better than a good trek going around it. On this trek, Mustagh Ata is king. |
