Things to Do in Karakoram Highway
Starting points for your perfect trip
Complete KKH Expedition to Khunjerab
Drive the full Karakoram Highway from Islamabad to the Chinese border—crossing where three mountain ranges meet, viewing Nanga Parbat and Rakaposhi, exploring ancient Ganish village, cruising Attabad Lake, and standing at Khunjerab Pass (4,714m), the highest paved border crossing.
Hunza Valley & Passu Cones Discovery
Immerse yourself in legendary Hunza Valley. Explore 700-year-old Baltit Fort, photograph the cathedral-like Passu Cones at 6,106m, cross the Hussaini Suspension Bridge over the Hunza River, and trek to Passu Glacier through landscapes that may have inspired the Shangri-La legend.
Attabad Lake & Friendship Tunnels
Experience one of Earth's most dramatic recent transformations. A 2010 landslide dammed the Hunza River and created this 21-km turquoise lake that swallowed the original highway. Boat across luminous waters, drive through the 7-km Friendship Tunnels that restored the route in 2015.
Rakaposhi Base Camp Trek
Trek to the foot of the 7,788m 'Shining Wall'—its 6,000-meter unbroken rise from the Hunza River is Earth's greatest continuous mountain face. Begin from Minapin village through walnut and juniper forest, camp at 3,100m beneath active glacial flanks with views no road can reach.
Eagle's Nest Sunrise & Duikar Village
Climb to the Duikar viewpoint above Karimabad before dawn for what many photographers call Pakistan's finest sunrise—Rakaposhi, Diran, Golden Peak, and Ultar Sar lit in sequence as light sweeps the Hunza Valley. Breakfast in the Burusho village below.
Khunjerab National Park & High Pastures
At the KKH's highest point, Khunjerab National Park protects 2,270 sq km of high-altitude steppe where Marco Polo sheep, Himalayan ibex, and snow leopards roam above 4,000m. Drive through Wakhi herder camps along the Chinese border and scan the ridgelines with your guide.
