U'd find this kinda smooth road only for 1st 45 to 50 mins on your journey from Gilgit to Islamabad. <br /> <br />This (50 mins drive ) road has been constructed in a span of almost 2-3 years. <br /> <br />Rest of the road (for almost 10-12 hours) will take you to down memory lanes of 1970s and 1980s.
