Kohistan, a Persian word meaning land of mountains is an administrative district in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.Kohistan is where Karakorum, Hindukush and Himalayas meet making it one of the unique mountain ecosystems of the world.

 

A beautiful truck with best art work over it was found in our journey to Hunza. It was standing there, in Kohistan, in need of repair and rescue.

 

Taken @ Kohistan, Pakistan

Kohistan (Land of Mountains) refers to the sub 6000m peaks enclosing this canyon as well as upper Swat and Dir. The desolate, crumbling terrain made it one of the most harrowing passages in Asia.

 

The intrepid Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Fa Hsien, having already crossed most of China and the Karakoram on foot, was awestruck. In 403 AD he wrote about Indus Kohistan:

  

The road is difficult and broken, with steep crags and precipices in the way. The mountainside is like a stone wall 10, 000 feet high. Looking down, the sight is confused and there is no sure foothold.

The karakoram Highway has been cut through the highest and mightiest mountains of the world to the unspoiled natural beauty. It has opened a passage through the isolated mountainous regions, which have remained a cultural backyard of humanity for centuries. This Highway has been described as the eighth wonder of the world and beyond any doubt, it is a true marvel of engineering. This Highway connects Pakistan with the silk route to other parts of Northern Areas like skardu. One of the greatest attractions is the Buddhist rocks carving which are scattered all over Northern Areas. See the rapid flow of the mighty Indus River. Learn about the famous traveler’s like Alexander the great, Marcopolo, the very first Buddhists. Let us take you back in to time on this Highway to Heaven, an experience of a lifetime.
