^^^ Im planning on making a whole thread on the KKH and the Gilgit-Skardu road. Sort of a virtual trip on it from Hasanabdal to Khunjrab with my own pics. A little teaser:
I took all these pics myself.
This was taken around 20 min further on the KKH from Chillas early in the morning during December:
This was taken right outside the last Petrol station when your exiting Jaghlot:
An hour away from Gilgit:
Between Raikhot and Jaghlot:
Taken, very early in the morning, on the bridge, exiting Dassu, over the Indus:
An hour away from Dassu in Jan:
This is where the 3 highest and mightiest mountain ranges of the world meet! On the left you see the Hindukush on the right you see the Himalayas and in the middle and farthest back, the darker, taller mountain is of the Karakorum. At this point the KKH runs on the side of Hindukush and after another hour's drive cross over the Indus river into the Karakorum.
Nangaparbat's peak just visible through the mist and dust:
