Khunjerab Pass, Mountain pass at China-Pakistan border in Gilgit-Baltistan and Xinjiang.
The Khunjerab Pass stretches across the Karakoram Mountains at 4,693 meters, forming the highest paved international border crossing in the world.
The pass gained international importance in 1982 when the Karakoram Highway construction created a permanent link between Pakistan and China through this mountain corridor.
The name originates from Wakhi language words, where 'Khun' translates to blood and 'Jerab' refers to a creek flowing from a spring.
The border crossing operates Monday through Friday, with Chinese customs open from 11 AM to 8 PM and Pakistani customs from 9 AM to 5 PM.
The National Bank of Pakistan maintains an automated teller machine at 4,693 meters, making it the highest operating ATM installation worldwide.
