PAKISTAN DELIVERS THE WOW

Driving through Indias grandstands and across the border into Pakistan

Getting ready for the action - border closing ceremony at Waggu


Face off

Finally closing the gates

Oh my goodness these guys are tall

At Rohtas Fort

Squeezing through the gates

Decorated buses

And trucks - I have so many photos of them

Containers barricading the road into Islamabad

More trucks

The Red Fort at Muzaffarabad

Looking down on Muzaffarabad

Tractors don't miss out on the fun

Don't fit inside - no worries - sit on top

More mountain driving

And more buses

They are driving along

Donkeys to carry the loads

Into gorgeous mountain valleys full of old villages and lots of terraces


Packing up

Love the roads



Even the utes are decorated

Homes with a view




Still more 

Into more wow scenery as we head north on the Karakorum Highway


Where 3 huge mountain ranges meet - the Himalayas, Hindu Kush and Karakorum

Camp spot in Karimabad

Looking down on fields and villages

Lake Attabad


Passau Glacier

We continue north



At the Pak - China border

Chinese entry gates

See the boundary

There are road slips everywhere

Walking our swing bridge - Jeeps go across too

Camping in Passau

Looking down on the Passau swing bridge - no longer in use!!

Up at the Passau Glacier with our driver

Back to the Lake



Exploring Ganish old town

One of the old wooden Mosques

As we drive we can see Mt Rakaposhi


And into Gilgit

The old Buddha carving

Time to leave town
