The first in a series of posts showing some of the highlights from my 3-month trip way back in 2005 through China and Pakistan. From Beijing to Xi’an and then travelling west along the old Silk Road to Kashgar where I joined the Karakorum Highway into Pakistan and down the Hunza valley. From Islamabad I then went east to Lahore on the India border and then west to Peshawar and the famous Khyber pass on the Afghanistan frontier.
This was in my backpacking days of travelling by public transport, hitching and walking. As with any journey there are many tales to tell, but for now I’ll just show some snapshots…














All photos were taken on my Canon Ixus 4Mp compact camera, in the days when 4 megapixels was a lot! Oh, how times change.
Looks amazing. I think you need to go back with your bike!
Awesome Helen, you have incredible photos and memories of world exploring – keep sharing the adventures and living them too!
