I go on an adrenaline-pumping journey to the roof of the world, where the air is thin, and the views are nothing short of spectacular. We're heading to the Khunjerab Pass, known ominously as the "Valley of Blood" due to its hazardous nature. This isn't just any mountain pass; it's the highest border crossing on Earth!

Don't miss my travel film, how I got here from India:    • Indians Can't Go Here... My Journey i...  .

Or watch my tour of the 1000-year-old village    • The Bloody History of This 1000-Year-...  .

As we ascend towards the Khunjerab Pass, prepare to be mesmerized by the sheer, breathtaking beauty of the region's mountains and lakes. It's not just about the destination; it's about every moment along the way where we'll:

- Feast on local delicacies that are as rich in flavour as the landscapes are in colour.
- Connect with the locals, whose warmth and stories add depth to our adventure.
- Reconnect with friends amidst some of the planet's most awe-inspiring scenery.
- Traverse through Gilgit-Baltistan, a land known for its unparalleled natural splendour (referred to as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or Ladakh by India).

This video isn't just travel; it's an exploration of the limits of human endurance and the sheer majesty of our planet. Strap in for a ride that promises thrills, chills, and sights that will leave you breathless.

Featuring ‪@AdeelOnWheels‬ and ‪@MadDogAdventures‬.

My exact route and the locations featured in this film are Gilgit, Nagar, where the collision point of the continental plates is, the Silk Road viewpoint, the Rakaposhi viewpoint at Nagar, Ganish village just outside Karimabad, the Upper Hunza border, the Passu Cones at Gulmit, Sost, and finally, Khunjerab Pass.
