The Karakoram Highway is an amazing road

The road is mostly asphalt. This is a real challenging road and a real test of your vehicle and your abilities as this road turns and turns the wheels which sometimes hangs over the mountains. The most paved international road on the planet does not come without its dangers.

Avalanches, heavy snowfalls, and landslides can occur at any time and can sometimes block parts of the road. It makes a popular tourist destination when you see the incredible view of the 2, but the 800-mile highway is a nightmare for those suffering from altitude sickness. On the one hand there is no barrier at all, and on the other hand the scissor rock wall, the margin of driver error is quite thin. To make matters worse, the area is at risk of flooding and landslides.
