Gichi Gah
Gilgit-BaltistanRock ArtProtected
This site is spread down to the Gichi nala or rivulet having a bigger complex with a rough hillock cut up into parts and weathered much at places. It is on this hillock and on the boulders that carvings are seen. Prehistoric carvings have been noted on the top. Along the Karakoram Highway most of the rock faces with carvings are damaged due to human vandalism. Some most beautiful animal carvings are found here at the lower rock hills.
