We did travel on 23/04/2022 from Jaglot-Gilgit-Skardu Junction at Karakoram Highway to Skardu City.This is 2nd Part of travel Strategic Highway 1 (S-1), also known as the Gilgit–Skardu Road or Skardu Road, is a 170-kilometre-long highway in Pakistan that links the cities of Gilgit and Skardu in Gilgit−Baltistan. It was constructed by the Pakistan Army Corps of Engineers and the Association of Chinese Engineers from 1970 to 1982. The highway begins south of Gilgit on the Karakoram Highway, near Juglot, and extends eastward towards Skardu. The surface was initially gravel, but some sections were later paved. The road is winding and, in some places, only wide enough for one vehicle to pass at a time. On other parts of the highway it is bordered by a cliff drop of hundreds of meters unprotected by guardrails. Total travel time between Gilgit and Skardu is around 4 hours. The highway can be blocked for weeks at a time depending on conditions (though two to five days is more common). The road ends in Skardu, the capital of Skardu District and Baltistan division, at an elevation of 2,226 m (7,303 ft) above the sea level. It is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. #Skardu #ManWithYellow4x4 #ToyotaBJ40 #Pakistan
