A trip to the Khunjerab China border via the Karakoram Highway is an incredible adventure! The region surrounding Khunjerab Pass is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, with snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and alpine landscapes as well as rich wildlife including various species of mountain goats, sheep, and the elusive snow leopard and Himalayan ibex.

As you make your way towards the borders, you'll pass through stunning landscapes, including the famous Attabad Lake and the mesmerizing Passu Cones.
