Juglot
Gilgit district · 1,300 m
Where the Karakoram, the Himalaya and the Hindu Kush meet within sight of one another.
Juglot is a small town on the Karakoram Highway south of Gilgit, at about 1,300 m. It is best known for geography: three of the world's great ranges come together here, and you can see all of them from the same spot. Few places in the world offer that, so it is a lovely roadside stop.

About Juglot
The book lists two trekking routes from Juglot. One goes to Rakaposhi Base Camp by way of Barit and Gulish, a moderate walk of two to three days and about 31 km, with a highest point of 4,200 m, in late June to September. The other crosses to Nilt by way of Shaltar Gali and Harag, a moderate walk of two days and about 12 km, highest point 4,300 m, June to late September.
The book also says Astore is two to three hours from Juglot by road, and that minibuses run from Gilgit to Astore daily, so Juglot makes a handy crossroads for the next adventure.
