However, it was later announced to be aired on PTV on January 1, 2022 and now it has not only been aired on state TV but also online.
While the Karakoram Highway is considered the eighth wonder of the world, it is also one of the most dangerous roads in the world.
The road connects the northern part of Pakistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, with the Chinese province of Xinjiang by land, also known as the Silk Road.
The Karakoram Highway reaches Hassan Abdal in Punjab and joins the GT Road which starts from the Chinese city of Kashgar.
The Karakoram Highway is 1300 km long and its construction was started in 1966 and its completion was completed 20 years later in 1986. 813 Pakistanis lost their lives in its construction.
