Khunjerab Pass is a mountain pass in the Karakoram range, connecting Pakistan and China at the highest paved border crossing globally. It is near Khunjerab National Park known for its snow leopards.
Located 270km from Gilgit, the pass is the highest point on the Karakoram Highway and houses the world’s highest ATM. It is advisable to travel with your own vehicle as the pass is often snow covered from December to April, leading to traffic closures.
