Finding the route…
Northern Pakistan by road: Naran, Babusar Top, the Karakoram Highway, Rakaposhi, Altit Fort in Hunza and up to the Khunjerab Pass on the China border.
















Gulmit to the Pakistan–China border at 4,693 m: the Rs 500 Dih ticket, low oxygen, an ATM that didn't work, my first yak ride, Pak Army at zero point and a Rs 1,200 yak burger – with every price I paid.

A road trip from Faisalabad to Murree with cousins: the Pindi Point chair lift floating through the clouds, the climb at Bariyan, archery and an evening on Mall Road.

Altit Fort in Hunza is 1,100 years old. Here's the 2026 ticket price, why the doors are so small, the hidden prison, the standing grave and the 300-metre drop, from my own visit.

My first trip to Northern Pakistan with a tour group: the overnight coaster to Naran, Lulusar Lake, the Babusar Top zipline at 13,700 ft, 24 hours on the KKH, the Three Mountain Junction and the sky cycle at Rakaposhi, with every price I paid.
