Pakistan, sitting firm in South Asia is the central
junction between Asia and the Middle East; this brings great
significance geographically. Bordering four countries as neighbors, the
other three sides of the country is gripped by the Arabian Sea in the
South.
These borders have routes and entrances known as passes, mostly falling
between the great Pakistani mountains. Khunjerab pass is the only famous
pass people know of, that falls in the Karakoram mountains linking
