Tips from the community
The KKH, short for the Karakoram Highway, is an 810-mile national highway that connects Pakistan with China. But the part of this famous road that’s worth an adventure stretches from Gilgit to the Chinese border, clocking in at about 168 miles. This grand stretch is filled with some of Pakistan’s most sought-after scenery: Attabad Lake, the Passu Cones, and the rickety Hussaini Bridge, to name a few. The KKH is best explored slowly, which is why hitchhiking or cycling are two of the best ways to take in its beauty.
