Junction of Three Mountains
Junction Point
The only place in the world where three great mountain ranges meet: the Himalayas, the Karakoram, and the Hindu Kush.
Near Jaglot on the Karakoram Highway, where the Gilgit River flows into the Indus, a viewpoint with a signboard marks the spot where the Himalayas, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush meet. It is the only place on Earth where all three ranges can be seen at once. The viewpoint is right beside the highway, is free, and takes about 20 to 30 minutes. It's about 40 km from Gilgit, roughly an hour's drive, and is often visited together with the Nanga Parbat viewpoint.
