Darmandar Pass

  • Ishkoman to Gupis over Asumbar and Darmandar Passes

This is New discovered Trek can be start from 5 different directions.

1-From Dain valley of Ishkomen

2- Asumbar valley of ishkomen….

3- From Sandi Yasin

4- From Qorqolti Yasin

5- From Jondoli are Ghamsing Darmanadar of Gupis valley

Asumbar An (Pass) Darmadar Pass,Toqumkush Pass and Qorqolti Pass these all passes linked to each other. We recommend it to start from Asumbar village of Ishkome to gain  enough acclimatised .After 2nd day trek there is no clear marked  trail. Very rare the Ghujar tribes of Asumbar and Darmandar visit each other in summer time once they are in the pastures. So from 2nd days to 4th day trekking can be very remote and quite.
