We've already completed the first half of the Karakoram Highway and in this episode we'll be (almost) finishing it off!
From our last stop at the ski resort in Naltar Valley we head back down the dramatic 16km track to the KKH to then continue on for another 63kms to Alliabad. I couldn't help repeating how beautiful this drive was as we wound our way around each bend, it honestly felt like the scenery kept getting better and better!
Arriving in Alliabad we went to a hotel called "Mountain Story" which was a recommendation from our friend Sana. One of his friends owns a beautiful mountain lodge style hotel and restaurant and was kind enough to let us camp out the front and use his facilities including a nice hot shower (always the most appreciated thing to have)! We ended up staying for two nights and made the most of having power and wifi to catch up on making the videos as well as taking in the beautiful view. Thanks for having us Atif!
On the way to our next camp spot at Borith Lake we stopped in at Hussaini Bridge; a pretty scary suspension bridge (if you ask me yes, though I'm terrified of suspension bridges! Ha!).
Just a few kilometres from Hussaini is Borith Lake. Here we found a nice little spot to camp up for a couple of days as we celebrated Mark's birthday with some pancakes.
Up the track from Borith Lake is the majestic Passu Glacier. A short walk from the end of the road takes you up a surprisingly well built track along the edge of the mountain to a great lookout point over this very white glacier.
Our next stop was just down the road to check out the Passu Cones, an iconic and dramatically beautiful mountain range. It was really cloudy when we first arrived at our camp spot though thankfully the following morning the clouds cleared and the sun came out briefly giving us just enough time to capture some epic footage.
From here we continue driving to the border town Sost through these beautiful mountains.
That's it for this episode, thanks for watching! Join us in the next one as we finish off our time in Pakistan and also for our new country wrap up segment!
