Khunjerab Pass is the highest border crossing in the world between Pakistan and China. The border is situated at the height of 4.733m or 15,528ft above the sea level. Khunjerab Pass lies on one of the highest points of Karakorum Mountains. Weather is very extreme on this place and is always covered with snow and is closed most of the year because of heavy snowfall.
Although weather is very harsh but still a large number of people come to see this place. Daily hundreds of people visit this place but its highly advisable to bring warm clothes and your stay must be limited here. At Khunjerab Pass another main attraction is National Bank Pakistan's highest ATM of the world. Visitors must visit that place and many try to check whether ATM is working or not.
During the construction of Karakorum highway many people died so they have placed a board on which they have given tribute to those heroes. One can imagine the circumstances and hardships faced by the workers and engineers at that time.
Another major attraction on this place is Yak grassing around you. In chines area you can see a large herd of yaks.
There is also a big information board for tourists showing prominent places to visit in Khunjrab National park. There is also an old milestone board showing Pakistan border sign. On Karakorum highway you can see many Pak-china friendship slogans.
If you like nature then this place is for you, as at this place there is no commercial activity allowed so people just visit and leave so no damage is done to nature.
