   • You will see peaks and valleys, rivers and glaciers. Twenty-one of the world’s one hundred highest peaks are visible from the KKH, and the journey is a great introduction to the mountains as civilization slips away behind us.

Pink peaks, trees full of cherry blossom flowers and jagged cliffs spill away into the distance as the stars come out; this is a magical place and will be the trip's highlight.
