Pakistan (Shigar valley and western Deosai, Baltistan) per the sources used; the Nepal list entry is not confirmed
The pale grey shrew, Crocidura pergrisea, is a shrew of the family Soricidae described by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. in 1913 from Shigar in Baltistan, at about 2,900m. The sources opened describe it as endemic to Pakistan, in the Shigar valley and the western edge of Deosai (Wikipedia and Mammal Diversity Database).
No source opened places it in Nepal, so its place on the Nepal list is doubtful and should be checked. No size, appearance, habitat or diet detail was found (Wikipedia and Mammal Diversity Database).
