Traveling along the KKH is an experience that won’t fail to captivate you and delight you. The scenery is breathtaking. Sheer, snow-capped mountains in places rise from deep valleys while green alpine meadows are caught in vivid wildflowers and sparkling apple blossoms elsewhere. This monumental landscape is dotted with terraced villages, supported by conventional agricultural methods and lifestyles Throughout the years, that had seen little change.
The explanation why this experience has gained so much common interest from foreign travelers is that every day offers a fresh and exciting scene. Speak to someone who has driven the 1284 km long highway twists through three great mountain ranges— the Himalayas, Karakoram, and Pamirs — and follow one of the ancient silk roads along the Indus, Gilgit, and Hunza Rivers valleys.
