Great Karakoram Map
 

I was in a pub in Sligo (surf capital of Irealnd) when I met a bloke there who has produced a really good map of northern Pakistan and the Karakoram. Now, I'm not usually one for souvenirs (I went up the KKH a few years ago)- but I bought one off him and then thought that the rest of you guys might be interested - especially those of you who have been to this incredibla part of the world.

He is quite an eccentric guy and travels everywhere by bicycle - though most of his other trips seem to have been closer to home.

to take a look and get a copy of his map.

So, if you are planning a trip to Pakistan, have already been there or just like looking at different maps- go to his site and see what you think of his KKH map.

I thought everyone that does the KKH uses this map. A few years old now but still the best there is.

Just stumbled across this thread about the KKH.
Still an amazing road.
Is the newly formed lake, still preventing direct vehicle access, ie, do the vehicles and cargo, still need to be transferred to boats for the length of the flooded road?

Yes. This photo from the Pamir Times is from the 26th. Oct.
