THE KARAKORAM HIGHWAY 🇵🇰

Completed in 1979 and opened to the public in 1985, the Karakoram Highway, also known as KKH and allegedly one of the many pathways of the ancient Silk Road, is said to be the highest paved international road in the world with the highest point (Khunjerab Pass) at 4,880 m above sea level. It has been traversed by traders and curious travelers alike for many centuries as the route goes through the 3 highest and most beautiful mountain ranges in the world, the Himalayas, the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush; connecting Pakistan and the entire Indian subcontinent to China. If you are looking to go on a road trip that is wild and really off the beaten path, KKH should be at the top of your list! It is truly one of the ultimate travel destinations and is once in a lifetime road trip for adventure lovers. The drive offers stunning and infinite beauty; and you will constantly be bombarded with unobstructed views of the charming valleys and majestic mountains across the whole the 800+ km stretch. You will also go through many villages with different ethnic groups and cultures, allowing you to see how diverse the people of Pakistan are. Best time to visit and travel through would be in the spring or early autumn with less tourists and cool temperatures. . . . . . . . . . #karakoram #pakistan #k #mountains #nature #himalayas #adventure #gilgitbaltistan #mountaineering #hunza #travel #skardu #gilgit #trekking #naturelovers #hunzavalley #landscape #expedition #photography #baltistan #adventurecalling #sololife #getlost #roadtrippin #natureseekers #lifehappensoutdoors #wilderness #adventruretimes #roadtrip #nature #landscape #desert #travellife #travelstoke #hoptale #neverstopexploring #backpacking #lifehappensoutdoors #getoutandplay #incognitostravel #yourescapewizard #nangaparbat #killermountain #rakaposhi
