About Yasen Valley:Yasen is located in the Northern areas of Pakistan.Apart from the main valley, Yasen valley includes several side-valleys like,Thaoos, Nazbar, Hoyel'ti, Thui, Qorhqulti, Sandhi, Asumbar,Barkulti, Hundur, Darh'kut etc. The bottom of the valley rises from 2160m in the south up to over 2700m near the village Darh'kut. Especially North of Darh'kut where a lofty range separates the catchments area of Yasen from that of Yarkhun River, the surrounding peaks reach altitudes of more than 6000m.

Villages and fields are located along the river, mostly on the alluvial fans of tributaries. Due to the arid conditions at the valley bottom and at the lower slopes, agriculture is only possible by means of irrigation. The streams and torrents from which irrigation channels are diverted originate from glaciers, which are extensive especially in the northern part of the area.
