Travel north from Hunza through the villages of Gojal, passing striking scenery along the way. Depending on your itinerary, you may stop near Attabad Lake, admire the Passu Cones or pause in Sost before continuing toward the high pass. As the road climbs, the landscape becomes more open and rugged, with a sense of remoteness that makes Khunjerab a distinctive experience for road-trip enthusiasts, photographers and nature lovers.

The route carries a sense of history as well as adventure. The Karakoram Highway follows a mountain corridor long associated with travel and exchange across the region, linking Hunza’s settlements with the high frontier. Along the way, you can see how geography shaped local life, trade and connections between communities. At the viewpoint, take a quiet moment to enjoy the sweeping mountain panorama before beginning the return drive to Hunza. nationaltourism.pk
