dry fruits (Gilgit)

Pakistan / Northern Areas / Gilgit
 factory, production
Gilgit Baltistan, the nearest large city is Rawalpindi and the road distance is nearly 600 KMs. The distance between Gilgit and Lahore or Peshawar is nearly 1,000 KMs. The stretch of road between Gilgit and Hasan Abdal (Karakoram Highway) is all hilly with steep gradients and sharp turns. It is often blocked by flash floods and landslides, for days and sometimes for weeks. The transportation cost is therefore very high and only a limited quantity of fresh fruit is transported to markets in Lahore or Peshawar. The situation may change when the Korakaram Highway is upgraded to an all-weather highway.
