A short but excellent trip is to hike up the Gumbezkul Valley from its junction with the Pshart Valley. The 9km (5mi) hike takes you over the 4731m (15518ft) Gumbezkul Pass down the Gumbezkul Valley, from where a rough jeep road leads 7km (4mi) down to the Madiyan Valley.
The path is easy to follow and there are stunning views in both directions from the pass, although it's a steep scramble on both sides. For a post-hike soak, the Madiyan hot springs are just up the Madiyan Valley.
