From Hispar to Nagyr, no jeeps were normally present in Hispar, you either call by own satelite phone someone in Nagyr with jeep (locals have phone numbers) or wait for some jeep to appear (that took up locals). It takes almost 3hrs down to Nagyr by jeep, we did not want to walk it at alll after 18 days on the trek !
