Additional Information

The compelling Karakoram Highway is one of the most elevated paved highways on the planet, crossing the Karakoram mountain range at a height of 4700m near Khunjerab Pass. This route links the Gilgit Baltistan locale to the more noteworthy old Silk Road. On the Karakoram Highway, we will navigate through the Khunjerab Pass, which is the highest paved international border crossing in the world and the highest point on the Karakoram Highway. Its name is derived from two expressions of the nearby Wakhi dialect: ‘Khun’ signifies blood and ‘Jerav’ signifies a stream originating from spring water. If lucky, there is a possibility of spotting wildlife like marmots, masked eagles, snow leopards, and blue sheep. Afterward, you will get a chance to see the breathtaking landscapes of Gilgit, the capital city of the Gilgit Baltistan region, and the stupendous Naltar Valley. No doubt, this visit will be loaded with the miracles of the unbelievable north of Pakistan.
