Shigar River is located in Baltistan, Northern regions of Pakistan. The Shigar River has formed from the melted water of the Baltoro Glacier and Biafo Glacier. The river is tributary to Indus River and meets the Indus in Skardu valley.
Shigar is a valley and also a town in Baltistan near Skardu in northern Pakistan that is fed by Shigar River. The valley expands about 170km from Skardu to Askole and is the entrance to the high mountains of the Karakoram. Even though the Shigar Valley is a isolated and largely unreachable place, there are several villages in the valley. Askole is the last settlement in Shigar Valley, which is still far from the high mountains.
