Destination

Karakoram Highway

The road that stitches the north together — long views, and time in the vehicle as part of the day.

A paved mountain road curving through a green valley toward snow-dusted peaks.

Overview

The Karakoram Highway is the spine that connects Islamabad’s southern approaches with the high north. Days on the road are part of the journey — switchbacks, river corridors, and gradual height gain toward Hunza and the Chinese border passes.

Along the way

  • Long mountain road days
  • River valleys and high passes
  • Approaches toward Hunza
  • Khunjerab as a high point on the ride
