Complex granitic pegmatite occur in the area, specifically in two side valleys directly north of the Raikot bridge.
The Karakoram Highway had been upgraded from the Raikot bridge in Diamer to Khunjerab near the border with China from 2008 onwards.
It took around five years to complete the project which was built with the cooperation of China.
