| For centuries, the Silk Route
remained the main trading route between the South Asia and the Central Asia.
After the construction of the Karakoram Highway (KKH) in 1982 along the same
alignment, joining Pakistan with Chinese Muslim autonomous region of
Xinjiang, the ancient trade link has been revived. The KKH has provided a
great opportunity for international travellers to explore the un-spoilt
natural beauty, unique culture and ancient traditions of the Northern
Pakistan together with the other Silk Road countries like China, Kirgizstan,
Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. |
