Click to Enlarge Photo

A wonder that exists near Jaglot, Gilgit-Baltistan is where the three mightiest mountain ranges of the world converge. The Karakoram, the Hindukush and the Himalayan ranges meet, at the confluence of the Indus and Gilgit rivers. East across the Indus is the Himalaya; the Karakoram in the North and in the West the Hindukush.

The Himalaya is about 2,400 km long, runs through Pakistan, India, China, Bhutan and Nepal. The Karakoram, 500 km long, lies mostly in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The 966 km long Hindukush range straddles both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The panoramic view shows the three mountain ranges and the confluence of Indus and Gilgit rivers.
