Description

The old Silk Road was buried in myth and history until Chinese and Pakistani road workers blasted a highway through the Karakoram ranges. Opened in 1986, the Karakoram Highway completes the lost link on the ancient route between Europe and Asia. Now travellers can follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo.
