From Babu Sir Top to Khanjrab Pass "A very useful article for those who want to visit these areas for tourism.

 Motorway from Lahore via Hazara Motorway You travel on National Highway 15 from Mansehra via Balakot, Kiwai, Kagan and Naran, traveling between lakes, waterfalls and waterfalls along the banks of the river Kunhar from Mansehra to Babu Sir Top.  After traveling for miles, they reach Babu Sir Top.  Babu Sir Top is located at an altitude of 13,700 feet and is the highest point of the Kagan Valley connected by road.  This road is usually open from May to September.

 Snowfall for the rest of the year does not allow it to travel.  These days this road is the easiest means of transportation from Punjab and KPK to Gilgit-Baltistan.  The other route to Gilgit-Baltistan is the Karakoram Highway, which is useful for twelve months of the year, but the journey is long and the dry black mountains become a means of turning the desolation of travel into boredom.

 Babu's head top was completely covered with snow.  Dark clouds came and a strong wind began to blow.  The little one was shivering from the cold as he made ice cubes.  She clung to me saying Baba Baba.  The weather was getting bad and people were gathering in the compound of the only rooftop terrace.  Those who could not find a place were forced to take refuge in their cars.  The washrooms, though very dirty, were spoiled.  We ate tasteless fritters from the dhaba and drank such tea.  We had been here for about an hour.  Our plan was to reach Hunza by night so we had to drive.

 Traveling from the height of Babu Sir Top to Chilas Valley and the road is one of the most dangerous routes in the world.  The road descends so fast that you sweat.  The jackets worn on Babu's head top seem to be tormented.  Most of the drivers in the plains get their brakes failed and get into many accidents.  Here the vehicle has to be driven in high gear and the use of brakes has to be restricted.  I was telling this to my son, who was proud to be an international drawer.  Thankfully, his obedience continued to alleviate my overconfidence.

 It is located about thirty kilometers below Babu Sar.  Fifteen kilometers down we stopped at a roadside tea hotel for Zuhr prayers and tea.

 Chilas is a small town spread along the Indus River along the Karakoram Highway and up to Babu Sar.  It is the headquarters of Diamer District.  As we were heading towards the city of Chilas.  The heat was intensifying.  The faster the road descended, the faster the color of the mountains changed from green to gray and black.  On one side of the mountains is the lush and cool icy Kagan valley and on the other side the land is visible.  In fact, Babu Sir Top and Nanga Parbat stand as a wall in the path of monsoon winds which prevent it from raining on the other side of the mountain.  We were traveling on a road built with a stream of cold and clear water flowing from Babu Sir Top, passing Chilas and walking on Karakoram Highway.

 The Karakoram Highway, also known as the Silk Road, is the eighth wonder of the world.  This great highway is the great story of Pak-China joint efforts.  This road is 1300 km long.

  After traveling 800 km from Mansehra to Khanjrab in Pakistan, this road enters China.

   Famous places of Besham, Chilas, Jaglot, Gilgit, Hunza and Sost come on this road between Mansehra and Khanjrab Pass.

 It was noon.  Our destination was Karimabad in Hunza.  We wanted to reach Karimabad before evening.

 After about an hour's journey we were passing through Raikot Bridge.

 This is where the road to the "Ferry Meadows" begins.  It is unthinkable to go with "Ferry Meadows" family and children.

 Now we had reached Jaglot.  Noman was driving.  He stopped near a monument.  Built at a height of 10-12 feet, this point attracts tourists to the junction of three of the world's highest mountain ranges, the Hindu Kush, the Karakoram and the Himalayas.  Pakistan is the country in the world which has three largest mountain range
