On thé road to the End of the Road…looks better BIG
This high altitude road is in the Chipurson Valley of North Pakistan. This is at 4000 meters. The mountains at rear are in Afghanistan, and this is all in the Karakoram Range. The turquoise blue water is a still and cut off spot in the flowing river, which is glacial melt full of glacial flour which makes it seem muddy. As you see from the still spot, when it settles, it is an amazing colour. The road at this spot as you can see is not too bad..one of the better stretches. It is subject to earthquake, rockfall, avalanche and erosion as are all roads up here. It is a most remote corner of the planet near the Afghan border. Simply staggering in scale.
