This valley begins at Soorwaht , where Terich River meets Torkhow River from the west, up to Shagrom- the last permanent settlement of the valley and from there onward there are summer grazing pastures and huts of shepherds up to the snout of lower Terich glacier and goes further up to Terich Concordia where glaciers from seven sub valleys slide down and join at the Concordia. The people there speak the Khowar language. The residents are available for hire as porters and tourist guides and will lead trekkers part way up the mountain, but there is a point beyond which they will not go.[citation needed]
