Two mythical passes at the Chinese border. Less than a century ago, they were the final frontier of the British Empire, as shows a fort built at the bottom of the valley. A trek little attended, among the most interesting of Pakistan.
Landscapes vary between sharp needles of the Karakoram and the more eroded relief of the Pamir. Kilik is to visit first, it goes over 4800 m; it is very open and crossed over its entire width by a fence. Mintaka is the less popular of the two, with luck you can see wolves or bears, and marmots are legions.
