Khunjerab Pass
The Khunjerab Pass is the highest paved international border crossing in the world and the highest point on the Karakoram Highway.
The roadway across the pass was completed in 1982, and has superseded the unpaved Mintaka and Kilik Passes as the primary passage
across the Karakoram Range. The choice of Khunjerab Pass for Karakoram Highway was decided in 1966: China citing the fact that
Mintaka would be more susceptible to air strikes recommended the steeper Khunjerab Pass instead

Baltit Fort
Baltit Fort is a fort in the Hunza valley, near the town of Karimabad, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan.
Founded in the 8th CE, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative list since 2004.
In the past, the survival of the feudal regime of Hunza was ensured by the impressive fort, which overlooks Karimabad. The foundations
of the fort date back to 700 years ago, with rebuilds and alterations over the centuries. In the 16th century the local prince married
a princess from Baltistan who brought master Balti craftsmen to renovate the building as part of her dowry.
The Mirs of Hunza abandoned the fort in 1945, and moved to a new palace down the hill. The fort started to decay which caused concern
that it might possibly fall into ruin. Following a survey by the Royal Geographical Society of London a restoration programme was initiated
and supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme. The programme was
completed in 1996 and the fort is now a museum run by the Baltit Heritage Trust.

Hussaini bridge is one of the most dangerous bridge in the world. It is located at Upper Gojal Hunza with beautiful background. It is very scary bridge for tourist to try it but easy for local people to cross it even they run over it after carrying some luggage. I and my foreign friends were feeling glad because we had a chance to experience the same feelings.
