Shausar with its little fort is 2-3 hours hike from Lashkargaz and is an ideal spot to camp after return from Karumbar Lake and witness the indigenous Wakhi culture in action in their summer festival. Wakhi, Tajik, and Kirghiz people meet here to trade, exchange news and arrange marriages during the festival.
