Situated at an elevation of 2,800 meters above sea level, Sost is the last Pakistani town on the Karakoram Highway before the Chinese border. ==Transport== The Sost Dry Port is connected by the Karakoram Highway to Gulmit, Aliabad, Gilgit and Chilas to the south and to the Chinese cities of 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. The border crossing between China and Pakistan at Khunjerab Pass (the highest border in the world) is open year-round. Because of its harsh weather and high altitude, it had previously only been open only between April 1 and November 30. However, in 2024 an agreement was signed between the governments of the two countries committing to keep the pass open year-round. ==References==
