The point where the Karakoram, Himalaya and Hindu Kush ranges meet — twenty minutes away.
A short drive down the highway brings you to the confluence of the Indus and Gilgit rivers, and the marked viewpoint where three of the world's great ranges converge. Genuinely one of the best twenty-minute detours in Pakistan.
Before you go
Carry more water than you think you need — the air is very dry.
Sun at altitude is fierce even when it is cold. Hat and sunscreen.
Layers. Mornings can be near freezing and afternoons warm.
Signal is patchy. Tell reception your plan before you leave.
Weather decides. We will tell you honestly the evening before if
conditions mean a trip is not worth doing. Nothing is charged if we call it off.
