What is the safest way to go from Hunza (North Pakistan) to Kashgar (West China) ? Travelling mainly by bus and local transportation wherever possible.

Best Answer

Currently, the most safe region is Hunza and towards China. Take a NACTO bus from Gilgit city. I don't think there any any issues related to security in the region. Afghanistan and Kashmir are not on the way to China :) The people there live above 2000m altitude, no terrorist can breathe in these regions :). To enjoy and know more be with a local.
