The Karakorum Highway was the highlight of our August 2017 Silk Road trip, and if we had more time, we wish we could have continued on through Tajikistan (border limited to commercial crossings for now), Afghanistan (border currently closed), or Pakistan (still a popular route for both tourists and traders crossing the Khunjerab pass to Gilgit and Islamabad), but even the 300km drive from Kashgar to Tashgurkan and back surpassed even my expectations for beautiful scenery and cultural diversity.
