GOJAL

Gojal, also known as Gojal Valley, is a valley situated in the far north of P**istan. It borders P**i Shishkat is the first village of Gojal.

It borders P**istan and China at Khunjerab Pass and Afghanistan at Chipurson valley. It is the largest tehsil of the Gilgit-Baltistan region of P**istan. Gojal is a series of large and small valleys sharing borders with Hunza in the south, China in the north-east and Afghanistan in the north-west. Except for the Shimshal, Misgar and Chipursan valleys, all the villages of Gojal can be seen from the

Karakorum Highway (KKH), which crosses Gojal, entering China at the Khunjerab Pass. The valleys and villages of Gojal were settled over time by people from surrounding regions. In the opinion of most researchers[citation needed], Kirghiz nomads initially used the areas in upper Gojal as winter pastures. It is said[by whom?] that later on when Wakhis migrated from Wakhan to this region. It is very difficult to determine when the Wakhis settled in Gojal. However, it is narrated[by whom?] that the earlier Wakhi migrated from Wakhan and settled in the Yishkuk (Chipursun) valley, Hussaini and later the Boiber areas of Moorkun village. It is also narrated[by whom?] that when Hunza was under the Central Government of Gilgit the Ishkook settlement was wealthy and paid cattle and other dairy products to the Raja of Gilgit. As Hunza emerged as an independent state during the early 15th century so it can be inferred that different valleys in upper Gojal were inhabited by the Wakhi speaking migrants prior to the emergence of the Hunza state. Later, the oral history holds, a catastrophic flood destroyed the Ishkook settlement during the 18th century. Since 2010, parts of the valley have been inundated by the 27 km long Attabad Lake. Gulmit is the administrative headquarters of the Gojal Tehsil, in the upper Hunza region. Gulmit is a centuries-old historic town, with mountains, peaks and glaciers. It is a tourist spot and has many hotels, shops and a museum. It is located 2,408 meters (7,900 feet) above the sea level. Gulmit consists of small hamlets called Kamaris, Odver, Dalgiram, Laksh, Kalha, Shawaran, Khor Lakhsh, Chamangul and Goze. Gulmit is home to around 4,000 people, all of them Wakhi-speakers and followers of the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam.

Heroic Rescue at Yazyupk Glacial Stream

Yazyupk, Hunza Valley—On a bright, sunny day in July, a harrowing incident unfolded as a local resident found himself struggling for his life while traversing the icy, treacherous waters of a glacial stream. Bound by a single rope, he was being swept away by the powerful, cold waves, teetering on the edge of exhaustion and with the fear of drowning in the massive Hunza River looming over him.

As hope dwindled and thoughts of home began to dominate his mind, the crowd of hundreds gathered at the scene seemed powerless to help. It was then that a miracle occurred. A hand reached out to grasp his right arm, offering a lifeline amidst the perilous waters. The hand belonged to Mehmood Ali, known affectionately as Lopyor, and his cousin Manzoor Sakhi from Hussaini, who, working together, managed to pull him to safety.

This brave act left an indelible mark on the survivor, who regards Mehmood Ali with the highest respect and affection, akin to that of a brother. The bond forged that day remains strong in his heart.

Tragically, the recent sudden death of Mehmood Ali has brought immense sorrow to those who knew him. The survivor expresses his deep grief and prays to Allah for Mehmood Ali to be granted the highest rank in Jannah (Paradise).

"Rest in eternal peace, dear brother," he mourns, holding on to the cherished memory of the day his life was saved.
