The Karakoram Highway connects Pakistan to China. Often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," it is one of the highest paved international roads, traversing through the Karakoram mountain range. The highway links the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan with Xinjiang province in China, facilitating trade and tourism between the two countries.
The Karakoram Highway is called the Eighth Wonder of the World because of its high elevations and due to the difficult conditions in which it was built. Construction began in 1959 and was completed twenty years later, in 1979. Over 1000 lives were lost during its construction, mostly due to landslides or falls.
