About

Khamosh Waterfall (also known as Shriting Falls) resides within Hamzigon village, situated amidst Kharmang District in Gilgit-Baltistan's scenic landscape. This water attraction is accessible via road and can be visited during the summer months of June to August when it exhibits its most considerable display due to seasonal snowmelt runoff from surrounding Rocky Mountains. The falls, considered one among highest altitude in this region, cascades down an overhung rock face creating a striking spectacle for visitors as water droplets scatter and mist fills the air around it. To fully enjoy your visit here while protecting electronic equipment against moisture from such strong mists is advisable to prepare accordingly beforehand or delay exploration until conditions improve if necessary.

Tips
