KKH or Karakoram High Way also known as the "eight wonder" of the world, the Karakoram
Highway - connects Pakistan to China, twisting through the three mighty ranges of the world,
the Karakorams, the Himalayas & the Pamirs - & follows the ancient Silk Route along the Indus,
Gilgit & Hunza Rivers up the Chinese border at the Khunjerab Pass where it concludes in the
Taklamakan Desert after winding through the Pamirs & Kashgar districts. For much of the 1284
kms, the KKH crosses a high altitude desert with less than 04 inch rainfall per year. Passing
through stupendous gorges, the road cuts along shelves on the cliff faces as much as 500 M
above the river. The highway is an incredible feast of modern engineering & an enduring
monument to the 810 Pakistanis & 82 Chinese who died forcing a road through what has a
reasonable claim to be the world's most difficult & unstable terrain. The KKH runs through the
middle of this collision belt where there is an average of one Earth Quake every 03 minutes. The
Indus River separates the Himalayas from the Karakorams and the KKH hugs the banks of the
Indus for 310 Kms on its journey North. It winds round foot of Nanga Parbat 8125 M, the 09th
highest in the world & the last in the Himalayan Range & Rakaposhi 7788 M near Nilt in Hunza.
It leaves the Indus & cuts through the Karakoram Range, with 12 out of the world's 30 highest
mountains. At 4733 meters, the Khunjerab Pass is the highest paved border crossing on a
surfaced road in the world. The highway was a joint Pakistan-China project. Completed in 1978,
it took 20 years to build and employed 15000 Pakistanis & 30,000 Chinese. The pakistanis
concentrated on the road & the Chinese on the bridges. The glaciers, brittle rock structures,
strong winds, extremes of temperatures from 48C/118F in summers to -30C/-22F in winters and
the seismic activity all combined to make the construction and today the maintenance of the
highway a continual battle. The Pakistani army, today, has deployed 1000 soldiers to keep the
road open.
DAY 30
ISLAMABAD
AM : Transfer to airport for your return journey back home..
