Around 810 Pakistanis and around 200 Chinese specialists lost their lives, generally in avalanches and falls, while building the thruway. More than 140 Chinese laborers who passed on amid the development are covered in the Chinese graveyard in Gilgit.

The interstate is a famous vacation destination, and is one of the most astounding cleared streets on the planet, going through the Karakoram mountain run.
