Sost
Last Town of Pakistan
10 packages0 rating
Sost — sometimes written Sust — is the last town in Pakistan before the Chinese border at Khunjerab Pass. Sitting at 2,800 metres in the Gojal valley, it functions as the customs and immigration post for all traffic on the Karakoram Highway between Pakistan and China. For travellers it is the accepted overnight stop before or after the Khunjerab run — the town has a handful of comfortable KKH-side hotels, hot food and the last reliable fuel station before the pass. The town itself is small and quickly walked.
