Landslides are also a major problem, and the border is only open half of the year.

If you where to take the route, it would lead you to Islamabad, and then you can head down the national Highway southeast into Lahore (keep in mind this city is an anti-Western hotspot as of late with that whole CIA agent case), and then into India...
