The Karakoram highway, one of the great mountain roads connecting Kashgar in far west China with Rawalpindi in Pakistan...1300km of pure mountain beauty! The Khunjerab pass to Pakistan is closed at this time of the year but the Chinese side has plenty to offer for very excited Rai and Steph! Day 1 we slept next to the magnificent 7546m Mt Muztagata and Karakul lake in a Kyrgyz yurt and energetic Rai then went on 4 hr freezing trek juuuust for fun (it was quite cloudy sooo not to much to see....) Day 2 we headed further south to Tashkurgan were the majority of the natives are Tajik despite still being in China!
Next time we are in the Karakoram we will take our bikes along...this is pure biking country! Oooh and if nearby Afghanistan calms down we will go there tooooo!
