Khunjerab Pass (elevation 4,693 metres or 15,397
feet) is a high mountain pass in the Karakoram
Mountains in a strategic position on the northern
border of Pakistan,s Gilgit–Baltistan Hunza - Nagar
District on the southwest border of the Xinjiang
region of China. Its name is derived from Wakhi
Khun means Home and Jerav means spring
water/water falling.
The Khunjerab Pass is the highest paved international border crossing in the world and
the highest point on the Karakoram Highway.
The roadway across the pass was completed in
1982, and has superseded the unpaved Mintaka
and Kilik Passes as the primary passage across
the Karakoram Range.
