Traveling the Karakoram Highway in 1981 Volkswagen Camper
The Karakoram Highway Pakistan (informally known as the KKH) is one of the highest paved international roads in the world. The highway, connecting the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Kashmir to the ancient Silk Road, runs approximately 1,300 km (810 mi) from Kashgar, a city in the Xinjiang region of China, to Abbottabad, of Pakistan. The highway cuts through the collision zone between the Eurasian and Indian plates, and further passes where three great mountain ranges meet: the Hindukush, the Himalaya, and the Karakoram.
