Salam, we are planning expedition to Astore/Chillum on 20th August. I have been intouch with one of my local informants and he has just reported that;
''KKH (Silk Route) has been called-off for traffic both at Chillas in Kohistan and Bunji at Gilgit.''
Will update this thread when I get a feed ASAP.
Have a safe journey and also share any latest info you got.
Regards.
