Starting Location
Drive the legendary Karakoram Highway in autumn as the apricot and poplar trees blaze gold. Five days sweeping from Gilgit to Hunza's ancient forts and Eagles Nest, then north to Khunjerab Pass on the China border and the impossible blue of Attabad Lake.
ISB passengers set off at dawn; Lahore passengers depart at midnight via the Karakoram Highway. Both converge at Shangrila Chillas for lunch before pushing through the Junction of Three Mountain Ranges into Gilgit by evening.
