Sultan Beg
“High-pasture herder and the man who knows where the ibex sleep.”
Sultan spends half the year at Shuwerth pasture, four thousand metres up, and half in Shimshal village. He knows every route across the Shimshal Pamir by heart. His wife Nazia bakes the best khameeri bread on the mountain and welcomes everyone as if they were an old cousin.
