Visiting the Pakistan China Border 🇵🇰 | One MAJOR Difference Between the Pakistan and China Side
Vložit

- We did not expect this! Snow, high alpine flowers, and trail mix: This is what we found on the Pakistani side of the Pakistan-China border. Following the Karakoram Highway, we traveled northeast to the Khunjerab Pass. To get to the border crossing, we have to enter the Khunjerab National Park. There is a park entrance fee of about $80 USD. From the National Park entrance, it is about 32 kilometers from the border. The road through the National Park is paved and in decent condition, while the scenery is fantastic. Slightly forested and rocky outcroppings quickly turn to high alpine tundra and snow-capped mountain peaks of the Karakoram Mountains.
Even before getting to the Khunjerab National Park, we traveled through the town of Sost. We stopped to get snacks and water. Once in the park, we didn’t pass any places to purchase food, so we were happy to have those with us. We loved having a picnic in the alpine meadow with our Pakistani trail mix of dried fruit, nuts, dried coconut, and sweets. The border goes through the Karakoram Mountains and even passes over K2, the world’s second-largest mountain. At the border, you can walk on the snow that is leftover from winter and even see hints of the Siachen Glacier. So, when you plan your trip to northern Pakistan’s Hunza Valley, be sure to visit the Pakistan-China border, pack a lunch, warm clothes, and plan to spend the day relaxing in the mountains.

As a Half Pakistani Half Chinese, I have to visit the border sometime in my lifetime. Then I could step over the border and be truly in my countries at the same time
It's definitely a beautiful area!
Haha thats true
Love from the usa and Pakistan🇺🇸🇵🇰💖🤝🇨🇳🇵🇰
Hahahaha chinaa Punjabi say chini bachay Bhi paidaa Kar deyai😂😂😂😃
haha are you kashgari love you from gilgit
But the border is so quiet and peaceful. How nice to see trust between two friendly countries. If only all country borders were so peaceful, with their neighbours.❤❤❤❤❤
The Chinese side of the border was closed to tourists due to covid and has since reopened until very recent time
Forest makes me smile always, he saves any boring situation. He's a main personage in this trip as i feel, no doubts. Thx, friends, i still watch you and still enjoying.
Thank you so much! Forest is a sweet little guy. :-)
Same 🥰🥰
Back in 1986 I visited Khunjrab Pass with a group of students and teachers of the Quaid I Azam University Islamabad.
This video log brings back beautiful memories of our great advantage and fun.
When we reached Khunjrab we were cold so we decided to run up to Chinese to warm up ourselves. Soon we realised that we were on the roof of the world and at this great altitude there is little oxygen, we got out of breath our skins turn blue due to little oxygen.
Being young and silly we walked huffing and puffing, we walked into the Chinese area, wondering why there were no people nor boarder security around.
We were excited waved at the sight of a military truck loaded with about 20 soldiers approaching us.
Young Chinese soldier jumped off the truck and warmly greeted us with " Assalamulaikum " thrilled to meet our Muslim brothers and friends we had never met before we cheerfully responded.
They took off their uniform jackets and placed them on our shoulders saying the Quranic Verses of Surah Al Fatiha " Alhamdulilahe Rabbul Alamein
Malikay yaumideen.....".
Ieyah kanabudu wa iyaknastaeen.
... we completed the verses of Quran.
We communicate saying verses of Quran an expression of our bond.
I noticed their leader was very angry with his soldiers for their display of affection and probably sharing their uniform jackets with us.
Professor Zafar Iqbal our team leader talked to the Chinese commander apologised for recklessly crossing the border.
Hugging and shaking hands with the boys in our team and bowing to the young ladies they returned to their military vehicle and left.
We watched them bidding farewell and waving good bye until they disappeared.
Still out of breath we got into our ride. Our breath was restored breaking to normal when we descended back to the last check Pakistani post .
Mistake of crossing boarder whether of friendly or other country may be very enthusiastic but without legal authority may cost some times heavily.
One of senior govt officer crossed broder while chatting friendly with Chinees border watch persons however a solder from Chinees border force booked both of them. The officer was released after many days after govt of Pakistan request to the friendly country.
We enjoyed visit of Khunjrab few months back. A barrier was mounted much before Chinees border and no one was allowed to cross. Otherwise Pakistan border force was very friendly.
Paid wash rooms on Pakistan side were dirty and without water, NBP ATM was non functional.
Contrary to what I heard about breathing problem , but Alhamdulillah despite being in late sixties I felt active with no skin or breathing issue, however children faced these issues.
On the whole it was a memorable trip.
@@AAA-xw6tc Extremism in Pakistan is a big concern, people from northern Myanmar go to school every day in China, China provides free and compulsory education to high school. Vietnam women also can sold agricultural products
in China streets every morning.
Wow. Old Quaidians. Stay blessed. So good to see my seniors.

Thanks a lot ....funny enough I'm in UK , residence of Pakistan origin .im 71.came to UK in 1966 at.15.i wish to visit all those wonderful places in the Northern Pakistan one day...keep enjoying and be safe.....
One thing for sure Pakistan is a very diverse country.where the Punjab is devided between India Pakistan so that's where you find mixture of races and most unstable as well politically.thats where the power of the country is.but the northern areas have more pure races and much more organized & peaceful.they are more predictable people.....lot cleaner and lovely....I'm a Punjabi myself but I must say I'm also very unhappy with their way of running the show, if you what I mean.....
Thanks for sharing amazing video

Hey thanks for visiting beautiful Pakistan, nice video, i recently visited this wonderful northern areas in August just before flood on Motor Bikes, i mean its amazing experience on Bikes specially, thanks again bro...
Hi I am from Karachi I went there last year it was really amazing experience. They charge foreign tourist in dollars that the reason that more compared to local tourist and I found you guys really humble and soft nature. Specially u n ur wife.
wonderful vlog... keep it up
I just loved your vlog. 😍 No fancy glamor stuff, all natural, yet eye catching... I didn't lose my interest a bit through the whole thing.
May be it's because I was there couples of weeks ago as well as back in 2018. The whole trip just passed before my eyes while watching your vlog. It's a shame that we couldn't go near the gate, We could go till covid happened.
Lovely family, lovely captures, good times... I hope it will become a part of the good memories.
Bless you.
Very informative vlog will help me plan my journey.Thanks
Lot's of love from Nepal ❤️❤️❤️
Forest is so cute❤️

Hello bag packed family enjoy your trip im watching from Nepal
Thank you so much 😊
Appreciate you and family. Love from Pakistan.
Lovely family 👏👏👏🇵🇰
Looks like the fee is a new thing, probably from too many visitors disrupting normal border activities.
Regarding the China side, their border is far away from settled areas, so further to travel, I assume that would effect the number of visits. On Pakistan side, it has become a touristy thing to do, because of CZcams videos.
Your children has beautiful experience for there future life to remember.
I stayed in Sost with the border guard in the winter of 1991. Very cold. Thankfully I kept a diary.
wow what a beautiful place in Pakistan
Cool family stay blessed ❤️
amazing trip guys
Really love the contact in the video
thanks for showing me this video
Big Love from Pakistani street food ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love forest 🌳 he is so cute 🥰
Did u pay 17500? Or 1750? As entrance fee? As far as I remember, it was 300 per person or maybe 350 now?
This is so cool😀.
Thank you! We had a great time up at the border. It’s a very beautiful area.
@@BagsPackedFamily my friends your welcome and awesome😀.
Thanks a lot to show the real beauty,face of Pakistan .
and showing misconception of international tourists about Pakistan,
Beautiful family
Pakistan is a beautiful country and specially our northern areas so i hope you enjoy your travel. And more foreigners will come.
That One Stop Shop!

The fee is for entering Khunjerab National Park
Khunjerab National Park is house to Ibex , Blue Sheep and Markhor
MARKHOR is the most revered hunt in the hunting world... its the most difficult hunt in the world... and thats why a permit or license to hunt a Markhor is a whopping $160,000
Nice vlog
Loved it💕
Beautiful border ❤
The greenish n dark raisins are much sweet try all the one I suggest
I love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🌷
I hope, if you guys come next time, be sure to do some research. There are so many areas in Pakistan, more beautiful and where you don't have to pay much higher entrance fees. Like Neelum valley in Kashmir, and are breathtaking. Anyway, enjoy your trip ❣️🥰
Thanks for the suggestions! Pakistan is quite amazing!
They charged extra entance fee so its not a cool thing.I think when i visit at that time they charge 500 ruppes per person
@@zainklash for foreigners they charge 3500/person
Best guide ever
