Pakistan Road trips
2 curated road trips in Pakistan — Karakoram Highway, Fairy Meadows and Naran-Kaghan. Mapped stops, distance, duration, best season, and practical route notes.
Karakoram HighwayOriginally part of the ancient Silk Road, the Karakoram Highway crosses the world's three highest mountain ranges, the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Pamir, from the Hunza Valley in Pakistan to Kashgar in China, peaking at 4,693 m at the Khunjerab Pass. Chiselled from bare rock and ice over 20 years by Chinese and Pakistani labourers, it remains one of the most extraordinary feats of road engineering ever attempted.
Fairy Meadows and Naran-KaghanThis northern Pakistan mountain loop links the Karakoram footpath to the emerald valleys of Naran and Kaghan, with alpine lakes, river canyons, and first views of Nanga Parbat from Fairy Meadows. Expect dramatic scenery, narrow roads, and a rewarding mix of jeep track and paved highland driving.
