Ishkoman

b>Ishkoman is a high mountain valley in the Himalaya mountains, in the northwest region of Gilgit in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Ishkoman is connected to Yasin Valley by a high mountain pass.

Ownership of Ishkoman changed hands several times. It has been under the rule of the Mehtar of Chitral, the Maharaja of Kashmir, or the Raja of Punyal at different times in the past. Although sparsely populated, Ishkoman was important because it leads to a high mountain pass, to Yarkhun in Chitral, and then to Broghol Pass, the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan, and into Tajikistan. Thus, Ishkoman could have formed an invasion route from Czarist Russia into India.

The primary language of Ishkoman area is the Khowar language. The Wakhi language and the Shina language are also spoken.
