Where the Karakoram, the Himalaya and the Hindu Kush all meet.
A marked viewpoint above the confluence of the Gilgit and Indus rivers, showing the meeting of three of the world's great mountain systems. The Karakoram runs north, the Himalaya south-east, and the Hindu Kush west — you can stand in one place and see all three.
Ten minutes down the highway, free to visit, and the single best short detour from the hotel. Go in the late afternoon when the light comes down the Indus.
