Aptly dubbed as the 8th wonder of the world, this legendary roadway traverses through some of the most breathtaking landscapes of Northern Pakistan, offering a journey filled with history, adventure, and unparalleled natural beauty.

The Karakoram Highway (KKH), also known as the N-35, is a national highway in Pakistan that connects China and Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range. It is one of the highest paved international border crossings in the world and is often referred to as the "8th Wonder of the World".
