| Video Discription | Part 2 of my drive from Khunjerab (on the Pakistani Kashmir border) to Kashgar on the Karakoram Highway (China National Highway G314). Major towns on this road are Tashkurgan, Shufu and Kashgar. Karakoram Highway is the only road connecting China and Pakistan, and is known in Pakistan as National Highway 35. It reaches its highest point at the China-Pakistan border pass, Khunjerab Pass (4693 m, 15397 ft). The road is dotted with exotic landmarks, such as Attabad Lake, K2, and Mt. Muztagh Ata, and became the ultimate destination to cyclists, bikers and mountaineers. As of 2019, in order to visit any part of Tashkurgan County, foreigners must either travel with government-approved tour groups (these can be found in Kashgar). Foreigners *could* also pass through Tashkurgan in transit to Pakistan (only between May and December), provided they hold a valid passport, Pakistani visa, and not stray away from the Karakoram Highway (G314). However, few hotels on this route are allowed to serve foreigners. Chinese citizens can apply for a border permit and travel on their own to Tashkurgan, but these permits are not valid for all villages; permits for these villages must be applied for locally and often denied. As such, it is much easier for foreigners to visit the Karakoram Highway on the Pakistani side. Keep in mind that the above rules were only valid up to 2019, and rules are updated on a daily basis in 2021. Vast swathes of Tashkurgan County are sealed off to nonlocal visitors in 2021, due to the pandemic, military exercises, government paranoia and other reasons. 00:00 Tashkurgan 04:26 Tiznaf 13:00 Chüshman Checkpoint 20:15 Tagharma Wetlands 33:55 Kökyar 52:30 Karasu Border Crossing (10 km to Tajikistan) 1:01:40 Muztagh Ata Checkpoint 1:21:10 Qaraköl Lake (aka Karakul) 1:42:40 Bulungköl Reservoir 2:16:02 Ghez Checkpoint (farthest point foreigners can visit independently) 2:44:09 Oytagh (end of mountains) 3:13:45 Opal Checkpoint 3:24:10 Opal 4:08:10 Shufu County Seat (aka Konasheher) 4:12:02 Shufu County Checkpoint 4:16:00 Kizilsu RIver Bridge 4:26:00 Shamalbagh 4:27:00 Kashgar Urban Area LzOStssivCY |
