KARAKORUM HIGHWAY
A wonder on the earth
In the north of Pakistan lies a mountainous region containing some of the
world's most incredible scenery and mountain reaching the extreme altitudes like 7000 -
8000 meters & above. Between 1966 to 1978 it was for the hard work of Chinese and
Pakistani engineers that a street was built above the shoulders of these gigantic
mountains. More than five hundred lives are buried under this marvelous road which is
known all over the world for its beauty and variation in terrain and culture. The highway
runs along the river Indus and later continuos to Gilgit and Hunza valleys. Each stop of
this highway will definitely force you to admire it. One can take a tour of 7 days going
across KKH visiting the worlds most beautiful areas like Kohistan, Gilgit, Hunza, and
Skardu. There are nice PTDC motels on main points and cities of the Highway A typical tour
will take you from Islamabad to Besham overnight at PTDC motel Besham located on the Bank
of Indus river. Later you continue to Gilgit staying there for a night and than spend two
days in the Shangri-la ( Hunza valley ). It is
recommended that you take the same way back revisiting this wonderful street. though there
are flights available from Gilgit to Islamabad but depend on weather, hence usually are
cancelled.
