karakoram

If you want to drive it is a very long way via the karakoram highway via Gilgit in Pakistan.

I’m excited for a future where one could take a Tesla on a tour of the Karakoram Highway.

When I was in the bus on the karakoram highway, we had a brief stop (bathroom break, food, etc).

Including three huge mountain rages: Himalaya, the Karakoram and the Hindukush.

Haha did they put Karakoram highway on Indian map too?

I do expect they can say goodbye to the Karakoram highway.

In 1958 he’d made history as the driving force behind the first ascent of Hidden Peak, a 26,470-foot mountain in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan—the highest first ascent ever achieved by American climbers.

The Karakoram Highway, between Pakistan and China, is an amazing engineering achievement.

The documentary also examines the history and geography of the Karakoram mountains while contemplating the risks, rewards and personal nature of exploration in an age when there are few blank spots left on the map.

Permits are required for various treks like K2 base camp, some archaeological sites, the Karakoram Highway to Pakistan etc, and as usual in China there are restrictions (varyingly enforced) on where foreigners are supposed to stay overnight, but the list below doesn't appear particularly sinister.

) actually says is that in one particular region summer temperatures are falling while winter temperatures rise, and the result is "thickening and expansion of Karakoram glaciers, in contrast to widespread decay and retreat in the eastern Himalayas".

See, for example: Pakistani HAPs (high altitude porters) used on K2 and the Karakoram.[0,1] Colloquially, to 'sherpa' something means to carry a burden one would consider more than reasonable.

The Hindu Kush range then gives way to the Karakoram, as you cross Kashmir, which is then bordered to the north by the Kunlun which form the arc of the southern Tarim Basin.
