Best Answer

The Karakoram Highway is called the Eighth Wonder of the World because of its high elevations and due to the difficult conditions in which it was built. Construction began in 1959 and was completed twenty years later, in 1979. Over 1000 lives were lost during its construction, mostly due to landslides or falls.
