Jaglot is a town in Gilgit District, Pakistan, and is situated 45 km south east of Gilgit on the Karakoram Highway. Jaglot has the significance that it is located at the junction of three mightiest mountain ranges, the Himalaya, Karakorum and Hindukush. 2400 km long Himalaya Range stretches into Pakistan, China, India, Nepal and Bhutan. 500 km long Karakuram Range is shared between Pakistan and China, while Hindukush Range is spread across western Pakistan and Afghanistan. Gaglot is also the junction where the Gilgit River and Indus rivers merge and ways of Gilgit and Skardu splits in different directions.

Location where the 3 mountain ranges meet along with the joining of 2 rivers (Indus and Gilgit). Information Signboards are located for more information. A raised lookout is also provided.

Many people pass through this point without even noticing and realizing the importance that it has from geological point of view. It is the confluence of the three highest mountain ranges in the world. The Himalayas and the Karakoram share all the 14 Eight Thousanders in the world and Hindukush has few peaks quite close to 8000 m.
For most part, Indus river acts as the dividing line between Karakoram and Himalayan Range. On E or SE of Indus River is the Himalayan Range on NE / N is the Karakoram Range.
Though a much smaller range in circumference, Karakoram enjoys higher average height than the other two ranges.
While standing at this point, though one doesn't get a glimpse of the high peaks (except Nanga Parbat), it is an awesome feeling, nevertheless.
