Khunjerab National Park

Located near the Pakistan-China border, Khunjerab National Park spans 2,269 square kilometers across the Karakoram Range at elevations reaching 4,800 meters.

The Pakistani government established Khunjerab National Park in 1975 to protect endangered species, particularly the Marco Polo sheep population in the region.

Local communities maintain traditional practices of seasonal grazing within designated zones of the park, following agreements with park management authorities.

Visitors need special permits from the wildlife department to enter the park, and the best months for wildlife observation are from May to October.

The park houses the highest border crossing between Pakistan and China, where snow leopards roam freely across international boundaries.
