Karakoram Highway (N-35)

A testament to the Frontier Works Organization’s (FWO) exceptional engineering capability, the 1,300-kilometre Karakoram Highway (KKH) stands as an iconic conduit between the serene plains of Punjab, Pakistan and the rugged landscapes of Xinjiang, China. Traversing the Khunjerab Pass at an altitude of 15,397 feet above mean sea level, this monumental route was completed in 1978 and is often hailed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”

Year-Round trade link (Pak - China), Khunjerab Pass

All weather opening, the KKH has transformed the regional connectivity, boosting trade and establishing a strategic, reliable, year-round link between Pakistan and China through the Khunjerab Pass
