The Karakoram Highway is a major road that connects Pakistan and China, stretching approximately 1,300 kilometers. It is one of the highest paved roads in the world, reaching elevations of over 4,700 meters. The highway was built to facilitate trade and travel between the two countries and is often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" due to its challenging construction through the rugged Karakoram Range. Constructed in the 1960s and completed in the 1970s, the Karakoram Highway passes through stunning landscapes, including mountains, valleys, and rivers. It serves as a vital link for local communities and tourists, providing access to breathtaking sites like Hunza Valley and Fairy Meadows. The highway is also significant for its role in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), enhancing economic cooperation between the two nations.
