	Project Himalaya diary \| Noshaq 7492m, Hindu Kush, Pakistan
		Noshaq is located in the north west corner of Afghanistan along the Durand line which is the formal border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
		But while on treks or expeditions, villagers can be counted on for two things every time: one, that they will not bring enough food to feed themselves for the length of the journey, and two, that they absolutely will not deviate from their ancestral patterns.
		Advanced Base Camp was situated on the west lateral moraine of the Noshaq glacier, about one hundred metres from the confluence of the two ice falls that flowed down from Noshaq, and from the valley that separated Asp-e-Safed from Noshaq's south western rib.

		Noshaq is situated in Badakhshan province 320 kilometres (200 miles) northeast of Kabul at the entrance to the Wakhan corridor, the thumb of mountainous Afghan territory which juts out between Tajikistan, Pakistan and China.

	Norwegian Noshaq Peak 7492m Expedition 2005
		At 7,492m Noshaq, which lies on the Pakistan / Afghan border north of Tirich Mir, is both the second highest mountain in the Hindu Kush and the highest peak in Afghanistan.
		The Normal Route climbs the long and gentle West Ridge, which, were it not for the fact that it lies entirely in Afghanistan, would now almost certainly be one of the most popular objectives for commercially organized expeditions aiming to climb a high but non-technical peak.
		Up to its last ascent in 1998, before the Russian invasion the following year, Noshaq had been climbed around 32 times and was the first 7,000m peak to receive a winter ascent.

		Noshaq er en større udfordring fra Pakistan, men fra den afghanske side er bjerget langt mere overkommelig, og ville sandsynligvis været blevet til et standardtilbud om en let 7000'er blandt kommercielle udbydere, hvis ikke lige det var på grund af den sovjetiske invasion for 25 år siden.
		Siden 1978 har der nemlig ikke være nogle bjergbestigningsekspeditioner der har vovet sig nær Noshaq, men forholdene er nu normaliseret så meget at den første ekspedition nu atter tør vove sig hertil.
		Det er dog også ekspeditionens håb, at en vellykket tur kan åbne andre bjerginteresseredes øjne for dette område, og de håber, ud over Noshaq, også at få lejlighed til at bestige en række mindre 'alpine' toppe, for derved at kunne vise hvor mange muligheder der er i dette område.

		This range is different from the Himalayas and Karakorams, and since there are no 8000-meter peaks here, it is not as well known.
		However, Tirich Mir at 7708m and its accompanying peaks, Noshaq (7492m), Istoro Nal (7403m) and Saraghrar (7338m) command respect.

	SummitPost - Noshaq peak -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		At 7492m Noshaq is the fourth highest peak of the Hindukush range and the highest in Afghanistan.
		The main peak was climbed in 1960 along the south east ridge from the Qadzi Deh glacier by a Japanese expedition led by Professor Sakato.
		The two ice falls flowing from Noshaq make it a technically difficult ascent from this side, three camps are established before final ascent is made.

		Their journey from the scorching foothills of the Hindu Kush mountains in northeastern Badakhshan Province to the icy peak of mount Noshaq, 7,492m above sea level, is likely to prove a gruelling challenge.
		A walk up the Noshaq begins in the Wakkan corridor, a narrow strip of the Himalayas that separates Pakistan from Tajikistan and spills out into China in the extreme northeast of Afghanistan's Badakhshan province.
		Relatively unscathed by the decade-long war against Soviet occupation, Badakshan was also spared from the oppressive fundamentalist Taliban that was ousted in 2001 by a US-led military coalition.

		In 1966, a Polish expedition climbed the Kourobatcho Zom (5 400 m), the Tchap Zom (5 400 m) and the Noshaq.

		Es war der 7.485 m hohe Noshaq, der höchste Berg Afghanistans, im äußersten Nordosten des Landes gelegen, am sogenannten Wachankorridor, einem schmalen 300 km langen Landstreifen, der sich am Amu Darja (in der Antike: Oxus) entlang zieht und der zu den entlegensten Gebieten unserer Erde gehört.
		Gierig sammelten wir Informationen über den Anfahrtsweg, die bisherigen Besteigungen etc. Von den Namen, die uns durch Kartenstudium und wenig später durch intensives Erleben vertraut waren, hörte man 30 Jahre nichts mehr.
		Es ist der Noshaq - unser hohes Ziel.
