Khunjerab Pass is the highest land border between Pakistan and China. It is one of the most strategic paved roads and the highest point of the Karakoram Highway. The highway passes through stunning scenery, tall mountains and hosts some of the rarest animals in the world, including blue sheep and snow leopard. A day trip to Khunjerab Pass is not to be missed when in the north of Pakistan. Khunjerab is the highest land border crossing in the world. It also has the highest ATM in the world.

⏩ Tips
- Bring yourself warm clothes, it is an unexpected place, and you can need them any time, even in summer.
- There are no shops past Sost, so keep some snacks and water with you.
- The best time to make this trip in late April to early October, I did it at the end of March, and it was still too cold to reach the top of Khunjerab Pass, close to China Pakistan border.
- If you want to make it a 2-day trip, also check Gulmit village, a local museum and a carpet factory.
- You can also arrange special safari trips to see blue sheep, and if you’re one in millions, you might get to see a snow leopard on top of the mountains.
- I would recommend staying at Atabad Lake for an early start if you want to cover all stops below.
