Passed through it via KKH. Stopped at the toll collection point. But since it was not scheduled in the tour program, we did not visit the park the way one should. I can say this much that a lot needs to be done to support the precious animal species of this region.

Khunjerab means Death Valley, earlier I wasn't aware of its name from local (wakhi) language, but after visiting the place it is really a death valley, because its really a remote place and among highest paved highway, snow falls any time of 365 days, this border exists at 16K ft altitude after covering some 1k km on KKH which is amazing felt like driving on glass.. the place is home of Snow leopard, bear and markhor. its a must recommended place.. Especially in summer.

Reaching one of the highest borders in the world is no joke! U need lots of patience and much desire to see it. Khunjrab is cold and chilly, people with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases might have problems due to low oxygen at such high altitude. The place needs lots of traveling though the roads are well maintained and comfy. U’ll go through tunnels and can view the loveliest Passy cones on the way. Snow covered Karakoram peaks and the marvellous Attabad lake too! Which offers a range of boating experience. Safe travels!

Khunjerab national Park is one of the most beautiful places in Gilgit Baltistan. It is home to exotic species like Markhor and Snow Leopards. On the way to top, one gets a view of this mini K2. The fauna and fora of Khunjerab is just exceptional. It also has Misghar and Xhapursan valleys in the neighbourhood, which have their own marvels to offer. A must visit for every tourist planning a trip to Norhern Areas of Pakistan. Strongly Recommended
