Mit dem Unimog durch Pakistan – Reise-Reportage

Shift down a gear. Shift down another gear. Lowest gear. Anyone who finally reaches this road after thousands of kilometers of traveling around the world wants to travel it as gently as possible and enjoy it for as long as possible, because it is one of the most epic routes in the world: The Karakoram Highway runs from Kashgar in China to Pakistan, through the western foothills of the Himalayas, winds through the natural beauty of the Hunza Valley, and leads to the snow-capped peaks of Nanga Parbat. In troubled Pakistan, this highway floats through a bubble of serenity that seems too utopian to be true. The territory is actually part of the disputed region of Kashmir. Contrary to expectations, however, the people there live frugal lives: content, simple, and original. No rebels, no hostilities. Instead, the locals show remarkable friendliness to the few tourists. "Welcome to Pakistan!" the truckers call from their tiny side windows as they clink past on the road. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ▼ EXPLORER ▼ The magazine for four-wheel-drive globetrotters.
