Karakoram Highway – China / Pakistan

Karakoram Highway connects China and Pakistan and is the highest paved international road in the world. If you love exploring the mountains, this journey is practically a paradise. But be careful of the falling rocks and sharp drops!

To date, 810 men from Pakistan and 82 men from China have lost their lives while working on the road, mainly due to landslides and falling off its edges. Its height means that drivers will also be tested against avalanches and heavy snowfalls – so watch out for ice!
