John,
You say 1st of May they open again – have they also got 'strict' closing dates? Can't really imagine that in SE Asia, no?
I remember a mate telling me to do the KKH mid September to be safe. This goes with what you are saying.
But: According to Lonely Planet Pakistan & KKH, "the most pleasant temperatures for the KKH are in... September and October". They only mention closed passes for November to April.
What's the temperatures like in September? Also: How long does it take to get a visa for India in Islamabad. Would make sense to get it there, since the rockfalls & road conditions can impact timing & dates quite considerably.
