This road is really “the road of no return”! More than 1,000 people lost their lives here, and only the “old drivers know the way” were spared their lives. (Translated from cuitandokter)

On the border between China’s Xinjiang and Pakistan, there is a “Karakoram Highway” (Karakoram Highway), also known as “NH35 Highway”, but it is also regarded as “the most dangerous highway in the world” by the outside world. It has been open to the public since 1978. Since then, at least 1,000 people have been killed, and only old drivers who know the way can safely pass this section because they know how to avoid danger.

“The Times of India” today specially introduced this rather special “Karakoram Highway”, which is about 1,300 kilometers long and extends from Punjab, Pakistan, all the way into Xinjiang, connecting China’s 314 National Road. Due to its special geographical location, the scenery of this section is also very beautiful, and it has been named “the eighth wonder of the world”; however, there are hidden dangers under the beautiful appearance. This section is not only rugged and winding, but also because of the high altitude. As a matter of fact, the weather here is quite variable, making driving often in bad weather.

The report pointed out that in addition to snow and snow, causing the ground to be slippery, the most terrifying conditions include landslides and rockfalls. Since the highway was opened in 1978, there have been more than 1,000 reports of death. Only “old drivers” who are more familiar with the road conditions can grasp the best driving time and avoid the danger of being killed. The report pointed out that the best time to travel on this highway is in spring and autumn, and in winter, it will be closed for a long time due to heavy snowfall.

Not only that, when this road was developed, it was also a history of blood and tears. Reports said the road was built by the Pakistani and Chinese governments for nearly 20 years, but during the construction, 810 Pakistani and 200 Chinese workers were killed.
