Karakoram Highway Towns and Peaks
The Karakoram Highway (KKH) connects Northern Areas of Pakistan to the ancient Silk Road. It runs about 1,200 km from Kashgar, in the Xinjiang region of China to Havelian in the Abbottabad District of Pakistan. An extension of the highway meets the <Grand Trunk Road (GT Road) at Hasan Abdal, west of Islamabad, Pakistan.
A large part of the highway runs through the Northern Areas of Pakistan. and provides the pathway to expeditions for almost all peaks in the Northern Areas of Pakistan and several peaks in Xinjiang China. The regions includes some of of the world's largest glaciers like Baltoro Glacier. Five of the Eight-thousanders (above 8,000m) of the world that are in Pakistan are accessible by KKH in one way or the other.
Karakoram Highway (KKH) is the highest paved international road in the world. Its highest point is at Khunjerab Pass, at a recently confirmed altitude of 4,693 metres (15,397 feet), which makes it by far the highest paved international border crossing in the world.
Photos from Karakoram Highway and its towns at wikimedia commons.

Hasan Abdal - Confluence GT KKH
Hasan Abdal is (Punjab) is the starting point of Karakoram Highway in Pakistan. It lies on the confluence of GT Road and Karakoram Highway near the NWFP province, roughly 9km in the North-West of Wah.

Haripur
Haripur (Urdu: ہری پور) is 65 km north of Islamabad and 35 km south of Abbottabad. The population estimated for Haripur city in 2005 is, 250,000. Most of the people in the city speak Hindko and Urdu and many understand English.
To the south of Haripur only miles away lie the ancient Buddhist university town of Taxila. To the north within miles is the world's largest rockfilled dam, Tarbela Dam, the bulwark of Pakistani power generation and irrigation system. Also to the south lies the picturesque Khanpur dam which supplies drinking water to Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

It is 4120 feet (1256 m) above sea level, and is located 63 miles (101 km) from Rawalpindi, and is one of the cleanest, the most beautiful cities of Pakistan. The city is much like a valley with scenic beauty and beautiful romantic weather at its peak. The city is also called "The City of Pines".
The famous Karakoram Highway (KKH), which traces one of the paths of the ancient Silk Road, starts from Havelian in the Abbottabad District, and passes through the city. The KKH has become an attraction for adventure tourists. Abbottabad, with its mild climate in the summers, is a relief from the searing summer heat of the lowlands of Pakistan. By road, Abbottabad is less than 1 and a half hour drive from Islamabad.
It is a popular summer resort, located at the end of Murree-Abbottabad hill tract at a height of 1,220 meters, noted for its verdant parks, gardens, golf course and pine covered hills. Abbottabad, apart from being famous for its educational institutions and Military Academy, also serves as the gateway to most beautiful places in Pakistan.

Nanga Parbat, 8126m (2660ft)
Nanga Parbat (also known as Nangaparbat Peak or Diamir) is the 9th highest mountain on Earth and the 2nd highest in Pakistan at 8,125 metres (26,658 feet). Nanga Parbat means "Naked Mountain" in Urdu. (Sherpas, who are not native to the region but who sometimes accompany expeditions to the mountain, are said to call it “The Maneater” or "The Mountain of the Devil".) Nanga Parbat is one of the most deadly of the Eight-thousanders. It is also an immense, dramatic peak, with great local relief.
Nanga Parbat is the western anchor of the Himalayas, and is the westernmost Eight-thousander. It lies just south of the Indus River, in the Diamir District of the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Not far to the north is the western end of the Karakoram range.
Nanga Parbat has tremendous vertical relief over local terrain in all directions. To the south, Nanga Parbat boasts what is often referred to as the highest mountain face in the world: the Rupal Face rises an incredible 4,600 m (15,000 feet) above its base. To the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises 7,000 m (22,966 feet) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just 27km, one of the ten greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on Earth.
Photos from Nanga Parbat by Waqas Usman.
Also see the List of mountains in Pakistan. Five of the fourteen Eight-thousander peaks (above 8,000m) are in Pakistan. Other than these giants, more than sixty peaks above 7,000m are also in Pakistan.

Jaglot
Jaglot is a small town in Karakoram Highway in Northern Areas.

Gilgit Airport
Gilgit (Urdu: گلگت) is the capital city of Northern Areas, Pakistan. It is also a District in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Gilgit city is one of the two major hubs on the Northern Areas for all mountaineering expeditions of Karakoram to Himalaya peaks, the other hub being Skardu.
Almost all tourists headed for treks in Karakoram or Himalaya ranges arrive at Gilgit first. Many tourists choose to travel to Gilgit by air since the road travel between Islamabad and Gilgit by Karakoram Highway takes nearly 24 hours, whereas the air travel takes a mere 45-50 minutes.
Gilgit lies about 10 km off the Karakoram Highway. The KKH connects it to Chilas, Dasu, Besham, Mansehra, Abbottabad and Islamabad on the South. In the North it is connected to Karimabad (Hunza) and Sust in the Northern Areas and to the Chinese cities of Tashkurgan, Upal and Kashgar in Xinjiang.
Northern Areas Transport Corporation (NATCO) offers passenger road service between Islamabad, Gilgit, Sost and Tashkurgan, and road service between Kashi and Gilgit (via Tashkurgan and Sust) starts in summer 2006. However, the border crossing between China and Pakistan at Khunjerab Pass (the highest border of the world) is open only between May 1 and October 15 of every year. During winter, the roads are blocked by snow. Even during the Monsoon season in summer, the roads are often blocked due to landslides. The best time to travel on Karakoram Highway is Spring or early Summer.
Pakistan International Airlines flies a Fokker F27 5-7 times weekly between Gilgit Airport and Islamabad International Airport and the flight is one of the most scenic flights of the world as its route passes over Nanga Parbat and the mountain's peak is higher than the aircraft's cruising altitude. These flights, however, are subject to the clearance of weather and in winters, flights are often delayed by several days.

Khunjerab Pass - Highest International Border Crossing
The Khunjerab Pass is the northern border of Pakistan with China. It peaks at 4,693 metres (15,397 ft) and makes the highest border crossing of the world. It is also the highest point on the Karakoram Highway. The name comes from the Wakhi for 'Blood Valley'. This section of the road was completed in 1982 and is possibly the highest metalled border crossing in the world.
The long flat pass is often snow covered and during the winter season (December-April) the pass is closed to all vehicles except large trucks because of mudslides . There is excellent grazing on the Chinese side of the pass and domesticated yaks and dzu (a cross between yaks and cows) may be seen from the road. On the Pakistani side, the highway travels about 50 km across the extensive Central Karakoram National Park before reaching the security outpost of Dih. From there, it is another 35 km to the customs and immigration post at Sust.
Before the modern highway was built it was a winter pass only and almost impossible for baggage animals to cross.

Tashkurgan (Taxkorgan)
Tashkurgan (official spelling: Taxkorgan; Chinese: 塔什庫爾干; Pinyin: Tǎshíkù'ěrgān) is a Tajik town in western Xinjiang, China. Altitude about 3,600 metres (11,811 ft) 37°44′N 75°23′EIt is almost on the borders of both Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and close to the borders of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
Tashkurgan is a Uighur name meaning Stone Fortress or Stone Tower. Some scholars believe that a stone tower mentioned in Ptolemy and other early accounts of travel on the Silk Road, refers to this spot. It said by them to have marked the midway point between Europe and China. Other scholars, however, disagree with this identification.
It is also the seat of Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County. About 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty it was the main centre of the Kingdom of Puli. Later it became known as Varshadeh.Many centuries later Tashkurgan became the capital of Sarikol, a kingdom of the Pamir Mountains, and later of Qiepantuo under the Persians. Tashkurgan is a market town for sheep, wool and woollen goods, particularly carpets, and is surrounded by orchards.At the northeast corner of the town is a huge fortress known as the Princess Castle dating from the Yuan Dynasty (1277-1367 CE), and the subject of many colourful local legends.

Muztagata, 7506m (24625ft)
Muztagh Ata, or Muztagata (Chinese language: 慕士塔格峰; pinyin: Mùshìtǎgé Fēng) is a 7,546 metres (24,757 feet) high mountain in Xinjiang, China. It is the second highest mountain in the Kunlun Shan, the mountain range which forms the northern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. It is also reputedly one of the easiest 7000m peaks in the world to climb, due to its gentle western slope and the comparatively drier weather of Xinjiang. The peak has even been ascended on skis. However it is a high, cold summit. The name "Muztagh Ata" has an Uyghur origin, and means "father of ice mountains".
Photos from Muztagh Ata at wikimedia commons.

Kongur Tagh, (Kongkoerh) 7639m (25062ft)
Kongur Tagh (Chinese: 公格尔山; pinyin: Gōnggé'ěr Shān) (also referred to as Kongur or Kongur Shan) is the highest peak of the Kunlun Mountains in China. Due to its remoteness and being hidden by nearby peaks, Kongur was not discovered until 1900.
Photos from Kongur Tagh at wikimedia commons.

Upal
Upal is a small town on Karakoram Highway in western Xinjiang, China. Travelling from China, it is about 50 km southwest of Kashgar, or about 180 km north of Tashkurgan (which is about 120 km over the Khunjerab Pass from Sust in Pakistan).

Kashghar (Kashi)
Kashgar (Uyghur: قەشقەر/K̢ǝxk̢ǝr; Chinese: 喀什; Pinyin: Kāshí) Kashgar is sited west of the Taklamakan desert at the feet of the Tian Shan mountain range.
Situated at the junction of routes from the valley of the Oxus, from Khokand and Samarkand, Almati, Aksu, and Khotan, the last two leading from China and India, Kashgar has been noted from very early times as a political and commercial centre.
About 200 km west of the present city, just past the present border with Kyrgyztan, the main Silk Route crossed into the head of the Alai Valley from where relatively easy routes led southwest to Balkh or northwest to Ferghana. The present main road now travels northwest through the Torugart pass.
The Karakorum highway (KKH) links Islamabad, Pakistan with Kashgar over the Khunjerab Pass. Bus routes exist for passenger travel south into Pakistan. Kyrgyzstan is also accessible from Kashgar, via the Torugart Pass.
