Pakistan’s Karakoram Highway has been ranked among the 15 most beautiful roads in the world for its scenic beauty.
Wikicampers, a website providing tourist services in different parts of the world, called the KKH an “ideal setting for a most dizzying road trip!”
“Let’s gain altitude again by taking the second highest asphalt road in the world,” the website wrote, explaining the features of the road.
The KKH connects China to Pakistan while crossing the Karakoram mountain range and running alongside certain peaks over 7,000 meters in height.
The highway is about 1,300 km long, spreading from Hasan Abdal to the Khunjrab Pass in Gilgit-Baltistan, where it crosses into China.
