The Karakoram Highway holds the distinction of being the highest paved international road in the entire world. It also provides access into one of the most remote and rugged places on the planet. In the video below, a trio of paragliders travels to this famous road, located in Northern Pakistan, to explore the mountains from the air, and set some new records in the process. The 41-minute short film provides an intriguing look at this part of the world, as well as some breathtaking footage that will leave you spellbound. Make some time to watch this. It is worth it.
