China Border Pakistan | Khunjerab Pass China | @NafeesPakistan

Pakistan and China, the two friendly neighboring countries separated by the highest mountainous range of the world The Karakorum ranges. The only place connecting two countries together over this mountainous range is The Khunjerab Pass, at the height of 16,200 feet. Khunjerab Pass is the point were the Highest Paved international road the Karakorum Highway enters China connecting Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China and Gilgit Baltistan of Pakistan. For those who love the high mountainous region, snow and cold weather this is a place must go. The nearest Pakistani town from Khunjerab is Sost that also act as the immigration and custom post. If you want to enter china Visa/Passport is required from their embassy in Islamabad, a bus service runs between Sost, Pakistan till Kashgar, China through Khunjerab Pass. But if you are not willing to visit china you can just go to the Khunjerab Pass and come back to Pakistan by just paying a nominal fee at the post. The Khunjerab Pass is worth visiting with its scenic beauty, awesome mountain views, the yaks grazing and the orange marmot. Since this place is at such high altitude, after November the crossing might be closed because of heavy snow. But after April, the pass is again open and can be visited at any time. We visited Khunjerab in the month of July 2023, the trip was awesome and we enjoyed it very much. There are no restaurants or shops at the Khunjerab Pass so you have to bring eatables and coffee with you if you want to have a picnic there. You also have to eat lots of Apricot on the way to Khunjerab to overcome the lack of oxygen that you feel at this altitude, it is recommended not to stay for more than 30 min at the pass. Also, wear warm clothes and Jackets to face the cold weather there. Remember to bring the camera with you so that you can have your photographs with the Chines and Pakistani Security Guards for your collection. #china #border #Khunjerab #NafeesPakistan L I K E  |  S H A R E  |  C O M M E N T  |  S U B S C R I B E
