Passing the villages of Gulmit and Passu (where the Gulmit and Batura Glaciers almost touch the road) and finally the trading post of Sost, the road begins to climb and the scenery gets more and more mountainous. There are a number of long serpentines, then Khunjerab Pass is reached at 4788m. From Gilgit it takes about 6 hours by jeep.
As far as scenery is concerned, this trip is probably among the most impressive that can be done by car.
