The expedition had two aims.-
a. Photographic Survey of the Upper Shaksgam Valley. The Upper
Shaksgam Valley is believed to be the source of periodical catastrophic
flooding which has led to the deaths of thousands of people. The last major
flood in the mid 1950s partly destroyed villages 250 miles down river,
the first areas of inhabitation below the Upper Shaksgam Valley.
