tried to locate the suspension bridge...
we continued with the same bus to Passu. only Sk, me, Xiaohua and Noriyoshi alighted here. the others Brazilian, English and Korean travelers continued their journey onward to Karimabad, another beautiful place in Hunza. Passu is a small town where most people are related to each other. they are either the uncles or cousins of so and so.
the above photo was taken on our first attempt to the suspension bridge. we couldn't find it...
Sust, the border town of pakistan

caught in the fast river...
on the KKH (karakoram highway) to Sust, the border town of pakistan. The Khunjerab Pass crossing is a famous crossing probably becuase of its high altitude. it is opened for crossing from May to Sept mainly bcos of the weather condition. outside these months, this place will be covered with heavy snow and crossing would be dangerous. do note that the bus will have to the Khunjerab National Park to get to Sust. everyone on the bus had to pay USD4 to pass through the park, which we didnt even had the chance to stop and look. it was more like a toll fee or 过路费 to me.
