Die weißen Gipfel der höchsten Berge der Welt bilden eine spektakuläre Hochgebirgslandschaft. Die aktuelle Etappe beschreibt die abenteuerliche Anreise am Indus entlang auf dem Karakorum-Highway durch die Provinzen Swat und Gilgit-Baltistan bis nach Hunza und in den Karakorum Richtung China.
Am Fuße des Nanga Parbat wird der Jeep durch eine Eselskarawane ersetzt, um nach Fairy Meadow zu gelangen, einer grünen Hochebene, die von deutschen Bergsteigern als "Märchenwiese" bezeichnet wird. Im dortigen Camp auf knapp 4.000 Metern Höhe hat der junge Pakistani Safrez die Bewirtung der Wanderer übernommen. Sein inzwischen 104-jähriger Großvater war Teil der berühmten Buhl-Expedition, bei der der Österreicher Hermann Buhl am 3. Juli 1953 als erster Bergsteiger den Gipfel des Nanga Parbat, auch "Killer Mountain" genannt, im Alleingang erreichte.
Weiter geht es den Indus entlang nach Skardu und Machalu. Dort erinnert die Moschee an ein Kloster. Das ist kein Wunder, denn Ladakh mit seiner tibetisch-buddhistischen Kultur ist nicht weit. Seit 65 Jahren ist die Grenze zu Tibet geschlossen. Mit einer kleinen Expedition steigt das Team auf 4.700 Meter Höhe und genießt das einzigartige Panorama des Karakorum mit K2, Broadpeak und Gasherbrum I und II.
Von der indischen Grenze geht es auf dem Weg nach China weiter Richtung Hunza. Dort steht der Besuch des legendären Forts Balit, der Festung des Mir von Hunza, und einer Schreinerei an, in der Frauen arbeiten. Die Frauen gehören den vergleichsweise liberalen Ismailiten in Hunza an.
Hinter Karimabad wird der Karakorum-Highway zur Sandpiste, die in einer Geröllwüste endet. Ein Erdrutsch hat dieHauptverbindung nach China verschüttet und den Hunza Fluss in einen 36 Kilometer langen Stausee verwandelt. Dort muss alles auf Boote verladen werden, auch der Jeep - eine äußerst wacklige Angelegenheit.
Wie an einer gedachten Linie reihen sich die höchsten Berge der Welt. Filmemacher Hajo Bergmann hat auf einer Traumroute die spektakuläre Natur, die verschiedenen Kulturen und Religionen der Völker entdeckt, die im Schutz der 14 höchsten Berge der Welt leben.
Die Berggiganten befinden sich in Indien, Nepal, Pakistan und China mit den autonomen Provinzen Tibet (Himalaya) und Xinjiang (Karakorum). Außerhalb des Himalaya und des Karakorum gibt es keine Achttausender. Um die steinernen Giganten zu Gesicht zu bekommen, bedarf es ausgefeilter Routen, denen die vierteilige Dokumentationsreihe folgt.
Three experienced paragliding pilots, Thomas de Dorlodot, Horacio Llorens and Hernan Pitocco arrive in the Karakoram mountain range in Northern Pakistan aiming to break records. Follow them as they explore the legendary Karakoram Highway, seeking to break the world record for the highest altitude and longest distance Himalayan flight.
Their journey takes them deep into the mountain communities of Pakistan, where Thomas, Horacio and Hernan are welcomed by the local people, invited into a way of life that has existed for centuries. From the ground, these communities guide them and stand in awe as they soar above glorious peaks, the highest concentration of 7,000 meter peaks in the world.
Mixing sheer distance and height with astounding aerobatics the team revels in the freedom that these vast landscapes offer. As they fly cross country surrounded by alpine scenery and reaching distances of over 200km, it becomes apparent that in this remote corner of the world they have found some of the earth’s finest paragliding.

The Karakoram Highway (KKH) runs from Kashgar in Western China to Islamabad in Pakistan, and isn't so much a highway as a 'high road'. It took a stunning 20 years to finish the road, and even today it continues to suffer from extreme weather and environmental disasters.
The KKH runs through the highest concentration of soaring mountain peaks and raging rivers in the world, and is generally considered to be among the most spectacular areas on our planet. Traveling here isn't for the faint hearted, although transportation has improved significantly in the past decades.
In October 2010 I had the chance to travel the Karakoram Highway. Although Pakistan had suffered its worst floods in recent history the same year, most parts of the road were still intact. Nevertheless, traveling the road proved a massive challenge and also a great adventure. As these events had scared off many tourists and travelers, I found myself among locals for nearly all of the time.

The Karakoram Highway (2003, Trailer): For centuries, the impenetrable Karakoram mountains shielded the people of Bagrot from all outside influences. Now it has been opened up to the outside world by a busy highway. A snapshot of a rapidly changing society.

The remote Pakistani valley of Bagrot developed in splendid isolation. Cut off from the rest of the world by the mountains, it was self-sufficient and had its own distinctive character. However, the construction of a major new highway changed everything. Suddenly, it become a cog in the global market. Once calm streets were flooded with tourists; children discovered the internet and a whole new world opened up to villagers. But the road has also irrevocably altered the nature of village communities and left them at the whim of market forces. This beautifully filmed documentary provides a snapshot of a society in transience.

This movie is a video diary covering a 15 hour drive on 23 September 2014 from the Hunza Valley in Northern Pakistan to Islamabad on the Karakoram Highway which follows much of the old Silk Road. Prior to this Rod Macdonald and Fahd Chinoy were trekking in Hunza a wonderful picturesque area that separates the Hindu Kush Mountains from the Karakorums. Thanks to the Aga Khan Foundation, Hunza is becoming one of the most educated parts of the Northern Areas if not of the entire country of Pakistan. Our thanks go out to the Pakistan Frontier Police who helped keep us safe during the drive and to Kamal Chinoy of Pakistan Cables for enabling the trip.

Karakoram Highway
Coordinates: 35°36′N 74°39′E / 35.600°N 74.650°E / 35.600; 74.650
The Karakoram Highway (KKH) is one of the highest paved international roads in the world. It connects the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China and Gilgit–Baltistan of Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range, through the Khunjerab Pass, located at 36°51′00″N 75°25′40″E / 36.85000°N 75.42778°E / 36.85000; 75.42778, at an elevation of 4,693 metres (15,397 ft).
Connecting China's Xinjiang region with Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan, the road is a popular tourist attraction. Due to its high elevation and the difficult conditions in which it was constructed, it is referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
The Karakoram Highway is known informally as the KKH; within Pakistan it is known officially as the N-35, while within China, it is known officially as China National Highway 314 (G314). It is also a part of the Asian Highway AH4.
History
The Karakoram Highway, also known as the Friendship Highway in China, was built by the governments of Pakistan and China. It was started in 1959 and was completed and opened to the public in 1979. About 810 Pakistanis and about 200 Chinese workers lost their lives, mostly in landslides and falls, while building the highway. The Chinese workers who died during the construction are buried in the Chinese cemetery in Gilgit. The route of the KKH traces one of the many paths of the ancient Silk Road.

Karakorum
Karakorum (Classical Mongolian: ᠬᠠᠷᠠᠬᠣᠷᠣᠮ Qara Qorum, Khalkha Mongolian: Хархорум Kharkhorum) was the capital of the Mongol Empire between 1235 and 1260, and of the Northern Yuan in the 14–15th centuries. Its ruins lie in the northwestern corner of the Övörkhangai Province of Mongolia, near today's town of Kharkhorin, and adjacent to the Erdene Zuu monastery. They are part of the upper part of the World Heritage Site Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape.
History
Foundation
The Orkhon valley was a center of the Xiongnu, Göktürk and Uyghur empires. To the Göktürks, the nearby Khangai Mountains had been the location of the Ötüken, and the Uighur capital Karabalgasun was located close to where later Karakorum would be erected (downstream the Orkhon River 27 km north–west from Karakorum). This area is probably also one of the oldest farming areas in Mongolia.
In 1218–19, Genghis Khan rallied his troops for the campaign against the Khwarezm Empire in a place called Karakorum, but the actual foundation of a city is usually said to have occurred only in 1220. Until 1235, Karakorum seems to have been little more than a yurt town; only then, after the defeat of the Jin empire, did Genghis' successor Ögedei erect walls around the place and build a fixed palace.

Die weißen Gipfel der höchsten Berge der Welt bilden eine spektakuläre Hochgebirgslandschaft. Die aktuelle Etappe beschreibt die abenteuerliche Anreise am Indus entlang auf dem Karakorum-Highway durch die Provinzen Swat und Gilgit-Baltistan bis nach Hunza und in den Karakorum Richtung China.
Am Fuße des Nanga Parbat wird der Jeep durch eine Eselskarawane ersetzt, um nach Fairy Meadow zu gelangen, einer grünen Hochebene, die von deutschen Bergsteigern als "Märchenwiese" bezeichnet wird. Im dortigen Camp auf knapp 4.000 Metern Höhe hat der junge Pakistani Safrez die Bewirtung der Wanderer übernommen. Sein inzwischen 104-jähriger Großvater war Teil der berühmten Buhl-Expedition, bei der der Österreicher Hermann Buhl am 3. Juli 1953 als erster Bergsteiger den Gipfel des Nanga Parbat, auch "Killer Mountain" genannt, im Alleingang erreichte.
Weiter geht es den Indus entlang nach Skardu und Machalu. Dort erinnert die Moschee an ein Kloster. Das ist kein Wunder, denn Ladakh mit seiner tibetisch-buddhistischen Kultur ist nicht weit. Seit 65 Jahren ist die Grenze zu Tibet geschlossen. Mit einer kleinen Expedition steigt das Team auf 4.700 Meter Höhe und genießt das einzigartige Panorama des Karakorum mit K2, Broadpeak und Gasherbrum I und II.
Von der indischen Grenze geht es auf dem Weg nach China weiter Richtung Hunza. Dort steht der Besuch des legendären Forts Balit, der Festung des Mir von Hunza, und einer Schreinerei an, in der Frauen arbeiten. Die Frauen gehören den vergleichsweise liberalen Ismailiten in Hunza an.
Hinter Karimabad wird der Karakorum-Highway zur Sandpiste, die in einer Geröllwüste endet. Ein Erdrutsch hat dieHauptverbindung nach China verschüttet und den Hunza Fluss in einen 36 Kilometer langen Stausee verwandelt. Dort muss alles auf Boote verladen werden, auch der Jeep - eine äußerst wacklige Angelegenheit.
Wie an einer gedachten Linie reihen sich die höchsten Berge der Welt. Filmemacher Hajo Bergmann hat auf einer Traumroute die spektakuläre Natur, die verschiedenen Kulturen und Religionen der Völker entdeckt, die im Schutz der 14 höchsten Berge der Welt leben.
Die Berggiganten befinden sich in Indien, Nepal, Pakistan und China mit den autonomen Provinzen Tibet (Himalaya) und Xinjiang (Karakorum). Außerhalb des Himalaya und des Karakorum gibt es keine Achttausender. Um die steinernen Giganten zu Gesicht zu bekommen, bedarf es ausgefeilter Routen, denen die vierteilige Dokumentationsreihe folgt.

From the ground, these communities guide them and stand in awe as they soar above glorious peaks, the highest concentration of 7,000 meter peaks in the world.
Mixing sheer distance and height with astounding aerobatics the team revels in the freedom that these vast landscapes offer. As they fly cross country surrounded by alpine scenery and reaching distances of over 200km, it becomes apparent that in this remote corner of the world they have found some of the earth’s finest paragliding.

The Karakoram Highway (KKH) runs from Kashgar in Western China to Islamabad in Pakistan, and isn't so much a highway as a 'high road'. It took a stunning 20 years to finish the road, and even today it continues to suffer from extreme weather and environmental disasters.
The KKH runs through the highest concentration of soaring mountain peaks and raging rivers in the world, and is generally considered to be among the most spectacular areas on our planet. Traveling here isn't for the faint hearted, although transportation has improved significantly in the past decades.
In October 2010 I had the chance to travel the Karakoram Highway. Although Pakistan had suffered its worst floods in recent history the same year, most parts of the road were still intact. Nevertheless, traveling the road proved a massive challenge and also a great adventure. As these events had scared off many tourists and travelers, I found myself among locals for nearly all of the time.

The Karakoram Highway (2003, Trailer): For centuries, the impenetrable Karakoram mountains shielded the people of Bagrot from all outside influences. Now it has been opened up to the outside world by a busy highway. A snapshot of a rapidly changing society.

Or for downloads and more information: http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=11546
The remote Pakistani valley of Bagrot developed in splendid isolation. Cut off from the rest of the world by the mountains, it was self-sufficient and had its own distinctive character. However, the construction of a major new highway changed everything. Suddenly, it become a cog in the global market. Once calm streets were flooded with tourists; children discovered the internet and a whole new world opened up to villagers. But the road has also irrevocably altered the nature of village communities and left them at the whim of market forces. This beautifully filmed documentary provides a snapshot of a society in transience.

This movie is a video diary covering a 15 hour drive on 23 September 2014 from the Hunza Valley in Northern Pakistan to Islamabad on the Karakoram Highway which follows much of the old Silk Road. Prior to this Rod Macdonald and Fahd Chinoy were trekking in Hunza a wonderful picturesque area that separates the Hindu Kush Mountains from the Karakorums. Thanks to the Aga Khan Foundation, Hunza is becoming one of the most educated parts of the Northern Areas if not of the entire country of Pakistan. Our thanks go out to the Pakistan Frontier Police who helped keep us safe during the drive and to Kamal Chinoy of Pakistan Cables for enabling the trip.
