Kh\u0289n\u017erav, misspelled in official documents as Khunjerab, National Park is a picturesque \u00a0piece of land\u00a0located at the border of Pakistan and China. The \u017d\u0323 in the name Kh\u0289n\u017erav is pronounced as \u0698 in\u00a0\u0698\u0627\u0644\u06c1 \u0628\u0627\u0631\u06cc, the Urdu term for hailstorm.<\/p>\n

In Wakhi, the local language, Kh\u0289n\u017erav means the “Stream of Blood”. The name, apparently, was given to it in the ancient times due to the hardships\u00a0it offered to travelers and visitors.<\/p>\n

Administratively, it is located in the Gojal Tehsil of sub-division Hunza, district Hunza-Nagar. The Karakuram Highway passes through the Khunjerab National Park, entering China at a height of almost 15,500 feet above sea level.<\/p>\n

Rich in flora and fauna, Khunjerab is home to rare animals like Golden Eagle, Snow Leopard, and many more.<\/p>\n
