Minimarg is a remote village on the bank of the Burzil Nala in Astore District, at an average elevation of 2,844 m. Dense green slopes, alpine streams and a long road from Astore make it feel like the edge of the world.
It is the subject of the first episode of our 'Places, Explained' series on Instagram — 'Minimarg kya hai aur hai kahan?'.
