Things to Do in Khunjerab Pass
Starting points for your perfect trip
Stand at the World’s Highest Border
Reach 4,693 meters at the iconic Pakistan-China border gate—the highest paved international crossing on Earth. Photograph the monument where two nations meet amid eternal snows, use the world’s highest ATM operated by Pakistan’s National Bank, and breathe the thin air at the roof of the world.
Marco Polo Sheep & Wildlife Safari
Explore Khunjerab National Park, established in 1975 to protect endangered Marco Polo sheep with their magnificent spiraling horns that can span 140 centimeters. Spot Siberian ibex on distant ridges, golden marmots whistling from burrows, and—with extraordinary luck—the elusive snow leopard.
Karakoram Highway Journey
Travel the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ from Hunza to Khunjerab through terrain where three mountain ranges—Himalaya, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush—converge. Pass turquoise Attabad Lake formed by a 2010 landslide, the cathedral spires of 6,106-meter Passu Cones, and ancient Wakhi villages.
Hunza Valley Cultural Immersion
Explore the legendary valley en route: walk the 700-year-old Baltit Fort perched above Karimabad’s terraced apricot orchards, cross the swaying Hussaini Suspension Bridge over the glacier-fed Hunza River, and watch sunset paint Rakaposhi’s 7,788-meter summit gold from Eagle’s Nest viewpoint.
Passu Glacier & Borith Lake Trek
Hike to the snout of Passu Glacier where ice meets moraine in a dramatic landscape of seracs and meltwater channels. Continue to the serene Borith Lake, a glacial lake reflecting the Passu Cones, where migratory birds rest on their Central Asian flyway journey each spring and autumn.
Sost Border Village & Silk Road Trading Post
Visit Pakistan’s last settlement before China at the Sost customs post where painted Bedford trucks carry goods between nations. Explore the frontier bazaar where Wakhi, Hunzakut, and Chinese traders exchange goods as Silk Road merchants did along these mountain corridors for centuries.
