Robert Matzinger's Cycling Karakoram Highway Pages

The picture gallery has several parts:

Part 1: Rawalpindi
An incredible busy town and starting point of our journey.

Part 2: Hazara and Kohistan
An archaic and sometimes frightening, but still fascinating country.

Part 3: Gilgit and Nanga Parbat Area
The busy center of Hunza and cycling below one of the highest mountains on earth.

Part 4: Hunza
Happy valley under the Rakaposhi Peak.

Part 5: Upper Hunza and the Khunjerab Pass
Lonesome mountain areas near the border.

Part 6: Xinjiang Highlands
Highlands of unimaginable size, surrounded by snow-covered mountains. Crystal clear air and a culture that seems not to have changed since Sven Hedin has traveled here.

Part 7: Kashgar
A faszinating and exotic town. A place to relax, but also to discover "Sunday Market", said to be the biggest market in central asia.

Part 8: Back to Gilgit, Gilgit-Skardu Road and Skardu
Four days cycling in the narrow valley, the Indus roaring below us, takes us to the Skardu desert in the center of Baltistan.
