The 8th wonder of the world.




The Karakoram Highway (KKH), also known as the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, is one of the highest paved international roads in the world. It connects the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China and Gilgit–Baltistan of Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range, through the Khunjerab Pass, located at 36°51′00″N 75°25′40″E, at an elevation of 4,693 metres (15,397 ft).

Connecting China's Xinjiang region with Gilgit–Baltistan region
of Pakistan, the road is a popular tourist attraction. Due to its high elevation and the difficult conditions in which it was constructed, it is referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World.

The Karakoram Highway is known informally as the KKH; within Pakistan it is known officially as the N-35, while within China, it is part of China National Highway 314 (G314). It is also a part of the Asian Highway AH4.

The amazing highway is full of beauty and danger.A slight mistake here can result to death.This highway passes through Glaciers,revers, mountains,valleys.

It means, you are free to live the way you want and is the most significant reason why young people love to live "chadda/thug" life. Though thug life originated from American hip hop group, preferably I would call it "thug" life for the reason of having good vibes both lifestyles have. Donald Trump or Clinton, why the hell would they care about the next president of America? A bomb blast or curfew notwithstanding what happens outside, what incidents crop up, what affairs are going on, they are not gonna waste their time putting on thinking cap neither are debating such useless topics, rather, they have got their own foremost issues and above all "enjoying" their lives is precursor to their order of priorities.Welcome to the "student thug life".
