A dramatic video has emerged from Pakistan showing a convoy of buses which was struck by a landslide on the Karakoram Highway on Thursday.

The remarkable footage shows dozens of passengers watching as huge rocks fall down a steep mountainside.

At least two passengers can be seen cowering for safety behind a bus as boulders falls all around them.

Fortunately the entire group escaped without injury.

The Karakoram Highway connects the Pakistani provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan with China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The highway is a popular tourist attraction, and is one of the highest paved roads in the world
