Abstract

This essay is a reflection on the sowing festival taghm which marks the beginning of the agricultural season in Gojal in the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan. While doing research on the consequences of the Attabad landslide (Sökefeld 2012, 2014), I took the opportunity to observe taghm three times in Gulmit, the central place of Gojal.
