Title should have been
"British media travel to subcontinent to see again what mess their ancestors have created"

[ahmadnawaz]

All hail to the boy who was going to china on bike!!

[aa-kr]

yea and when the British Empire failed, the British made sure that their former colonies would suffer and not develop by planting future conflicts in these places, thats why India and Pakistan are constantly at war and Hong Kong despite being one of the wealthiest places on earth is constantly under political turmoil.

We the people of Gilgit Baltistan love our beloved mother land pakistan, pakistan is our life, pakistan is our pride our home, May Allah bless Our pakistan, , Ameen

I live in pakistan and I travelled on the karakoram highway all the way to the Chinese border and it was the best trip ever even better than europe

Edit: Its been a while since I looked at this (10 months) and the replies are disappointing. It really shows the divides between both countries and I dont understand why any of this was necessary in the first place but whatever.

FAQ:

Q. Is it Safe?

Yes, and there are alot of sights to see, just make sure to go with someone you know and dont be too adventurous.

Q. How much does it cost?

Cant be exact, it depends on what hotel you stay at and the petrol rates or pricing of tickets. However i believe since it is Pakistan it is extremely cheap if you are from another country or are well off.

Q. Do I care whether its Indian, Kashmiri, pakistani, or whatever land?

No, stop asking I dont care. I just know it's a beautiful place and deserves more foreign attention.

Q. Is it accessible?

Yes, unlike Azad Kashmir(Pakistan) it is much more accessible to foreign tourists as it is a province within the country unlike azad kashmir which is not as accessible to foreigners.

Q. Should you visit?

Definitely, ignore politics and enjoy the views. The People are amazing and the landscape is beautiful.

Q. What places are worth visiting?

Hunza Valley, amazing people, well educated and over hospitable. Gilgit city, nice hotels with great water(idk I just liked the shower water there, its cleaner than down south) also alot of souveniers to buy. Lake Saif ul Maluk, beautiful blue waters. And finally Kunjerab pass, the furthest you can go and the place with the worlds highest ATM machine.

That's all, have a nice day and please visit Pakistan. Theres much to see. And again ignore the shitty politics.

I really want to travel to Pakistan via this beautiful road in near future! Glad to see China and Pakistan built this road. I hope this road can boost Pakistan's economy and get rid of its poverty.

[gamershub]

[satyendra]

Pakistan is beautiful, People seem to be nice but politics spoiled everything, Hoping a better future of Indo-Pak relationship too

[SanZv]

This guy looks so innocent, ,
I wish Pakistan great success and development and peace for the innocent people,
And also let India live in peace

[Anirudh]

Wow..this is beaaautiful! Jealousy from India... Just kidding.. Greetings from India😂

[KH-wgkr]

Pakistan is beautiful, comprise of mountains, lakes, lush green fields, deserts, hundred of miles of unexplored cost lines and last but not least beautiful loving people. People who love and make sure their guest are in utmost comfort even if they themselves have to sleep hungry. Love you Pakistan!

[nirojkhadka]

No matter what If the friendship between two nations is helping its needy citizens then it's a good one.

[mickeymouse]

When China says Win -Win means China wins twice

[kushagrapandey]

Wow lake is so beautiful. Love from India.

[anxiousbeachbums]

I did that highway about 10 years ago. Would be a CRAZY long drive from the China heartland, through Xinxang Province, Kashgar, Tashkurgan, across the Karakoram Highway and south through Pakistan to the sea. Might as well put product on a boat in Tianjin, Shanghai or Hong Kong. Cool trip into Northern Pakistan. K-2 via Skardu is a wild side trip.

[emailsaudi]

Long live Pakistan and Chinese friendship. This beautiful Northern Pakistan holds the world second tallest mountain K2.

[减压]

We help Pakistan now and they will help us when we need it in the future,

In Pakistan The Attabad lake is called " A beautiful Disaster ".
But it is so painful for the people who lost their houses. The water is freezing cold but if you do dive in you'll see many houses under water.
A film "Chalay thay Sath " was made on this incident.
