 | Pakistan Karakoram Highway Reviews | 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
The Karakorum Highway was build to connect Pakistan and China with a paved road. Pakistani and Chinese worker worked together. The Chinese men building the bridges and the Pakistani making the road. It was opened to public in 1982. Since I first met a young woman, who came to China via the Karakorum Highway in 1987 I have dreamed about doing this myself.
The landscape, the people, the weather - everything was just fantastic, when I did this trip in 1992.
The road is open from June to October, but can be closed due to snow or landslides in this time. Leave a Comment

The KKH follows old tracks, which were used since more than 2000 years by the traders from China. On some rocks you can see the carvings, which this ancient traders made. Some carvings are said to be from the Stoneage. Leave a Comment

The Journey starts from Islamabad, the Federal Capital of Pakistan. You will go along Indus Valleys traveling on Karakoram Highway the eighth wonder of the world. From Gilgit you will travel by Jeeps to Gotulti in Ishkoman Valley. The surrounding of the valley consists of extremely greenish alpine landscape. You will come across impressive granite wall of about 1000 meters, which is easily accessible. After two days trek you will reach Bari Lake. The whole area is summer pastures of Ishkoman people who are very friendly & helpful who will offer milk, yogurt etc. The altitude of camp would be 3850 m.
You will be among numerous peaks of 6000 meters. According to prevailing rules of Ministry of Tourism, a climbing permit is required to attempt an above 6000 meters peak. However, you can climb a peak bellow 6000 meters without any permit. The trek will further continue to Darkot in Yasin Valley then to Gazin Chitral. Leave a Comment

On the road to Besham we stopped in a small village, to see, to smell, to hear the local pakistan life. One thing was sure, not many travellers stopped here. I believe these people were as curious as we were. Leave a Comment

Day walks and treks in the north of the country, just off the Karakoram Highway.
Stunning mountain scenery, clean air, friendly people. Leave a Comment Directions: Around Passu, Gilgit and Karimabad (to name a few) there are some marvellous walks you can do in a single day, circling back round to your guest house by evening. This is a view of Ultar Glacier from

Like other places, our country produces some beautiful places, which allows tourists to travel to. I traveled to one of the most beautiful places in the world, but the natural beauty I've seen at Fairy Meadows, Northern Areas, Pakistan would never be forgettable. It was a breathtaking place, and as soon I got on the top, the first thing that came up into my mind is the appreciation towards God sovereignty. All praises to God, He has made such a beautiful world, and that each and every part of this world describes their own beauty.
A man can discover many horizons in this world, but can not reach to God's natural creativity. Each part of the world is surrounded by its natural boundaries, so Pakistan itself is one of those countries, which are surrounded by its natural beauty, and make people to travel to those places.
Very soon, I will come up with some amazing pictures, and the true things that I have seen throughout my trip. Leave a Comment Address: murad_jamal@yahoo.comDirections: Close by district Chilas, Northeren Areas, Pakistan.Website: http://gullboys.cjb.net
