==Karakoram Highway== The Sost dry port is connected by the [[Karakoram Highway]] to [[Gulmit]], [[Aliabad (Hunza)|Aliabad]], [[Gilgit]] and [[Chilas]] on the south and to the [[China|Chinese]] cities of [[Tashkurgan Town|Tashkurgan]], [[Upal]] and [[Kashgar]] in the north. The [[Northern Areas Transport Corporation]] offers passenger road service between [[Islamabad]], Gilgit and Sost. Passenger road service between Tashkurgan and Sost also exists. Road service between Kashgar and Gilgit (via Tashkurgan and Sost) started in summer 2006. However, the border crossing between [[China]] and [[Pakistan]] at [[Khunjerab Pass]] (the highest border of the world) is open only between April 1 and November 30. Under the protocol agreement signed by Pakistan and Chinese authorities, the border is usually closed on Nov 30 and reopened on April 1 every year. {{gallery |align=center |Image:KKH.png |Overview of the [[Karakoram Highway]] |File:A road-sign on way to Khunjerab.jpg |Sost according to this sign. |File:2007 08 21 China Pakistan Karakoram Highway Khunjerab Pass IMG 7354.jpg |Sust according to this sign. |File:Sost dry port.jpg |Sost dry port |File:Sost_port_gilgit.jpg |Sost dry port loading dock }}
