Sost
سوست
Pakistan's northernmost border town and crossing, where vehicles traveling the China-Pakistan route complete their entry and exit formalities.
Sost is the last town on the Pakistani side of the Karakoram Highway. The Pakistani customs, immigration offices, and dry port are all located here. Travelers entering from Khunjerab Pass and Chinese trucks complete their entry procedures in Sost, which lies about 85 km south of Khunjerab Pass. The town has simple guesthouses, restaurants, and money-changing facilities, and it serves as a supply stop for drivers heading to Khunjerab National Park. Crossing opening seasons and hours depend on the notices issued each year. Processing often involves queues, so allow plenty of time.
