north pakistan in winter
 

Hi there,
Maybe somebody can help me here..
I will be arriving in pakistan next year in januari. I know its winter and that it will be cold out there..
I was wondering which places i can reach during this period and how hard its going to be..I heard that i can forget Chitral, but what about Gilgit and Peshawar?
if somebody has some information for me, like were to go/or not, wich passes are interesting, how cold and how lifethreatning,let me now.

thanks

I travelled along the GT road to Peshawar in February a few years ago without any trouble. Not too cold either. But the road from Rawalpindi up to Gilgit was damned cold. From there I abandoned the idea of further bike travel and headed up the Karakoram highway on the bus as far as Passu.

Hope this helps

Matt
