Getting TO/AROUND: With the exception of our first two days in Islamabad and Peshawar, where we went by bus, we did all our travel by jeep - a 25 year old Chrysler. This had the advantage of seeing more of the beautiful landscape, much more than from a seat in a bus. On the picture you see us on our way to the Lowarai pass, shortly after we left the lower Swat valley.

Getting TO/AROUND: When we arrived in Hunza, we realized that there was no gasoline available. The road from Islambad to Hunza had been blocked by landslides for two weeks. Usually, these landslides (see picture below) are removed within one day or two; this time however, an entire bridge was completely distroyed. It took the military two weeks to rebuild it.

Getting TO/AROUND: This picture is quite typical for the Karakorum Highway. All major bridges were built by the Chinese. However, neither Pakistan nor China had any engineers that were capabale of building tunnels. Therefore, you won't find a single tunnel on the Karakorum Highway that could provide shelter from falling rocks.

Getting TO/AROUND: Driving across the desert-like landscape near Skardu, the capital of the province Baltistan. Baltistan, situated in the very East of Pakistan, is part of Kashmir, now shared between India and Pakistan.
