15 reasons why you should travel to Pakistan



Pakistan is a neighboring country of China

Pakistan is a hellish country often described by the media as a war-torn country. Every year, it seems that only a handful of adventurous backpackers and tenacious climbers travel to Pakistan, but is this really the case?

Traveling in Pakistan is a truly unique experience. It can be frustrating, inspiring, life changing, and often surprising. Pakistan is the ultimate destination for backpacking. If you are a true adventurer, now is the time for you to travel to Pakistan!

Here are 15 reasons why you should pack your bags to Pakistan


1:The people of Pakistan are simply amazing



There is no doubt that the people of Pakistan are the most enthusiastic, kind, and enthusiastic people I have ever met. From the bustling streets of Lahore to the ancient mountains of Hunza, whenever a local finds me, I am extremely happy to be rewarded and often invite him to dinner. I can’t remember how many free teas I drank, but a lot...

Once, a kind person named Rehman invited me to visit his family in a small village on the mountain. I lived for nearly a week-hiking on a nearby glacier and playing with Lehman’s children Wooden ball. I am lucky to make many friends during the trip, but the friendship I established in Pakistan is the most sincere friendship I have established.


2: Incredible scenery



The most beautiful country in the world-probably just Pakistan.


Okay, even the most illiterate map readers should know that Pakistan is famous for its mountains, valleys, rivers, glaciers and forests... This is a country with a large number of truly wonderful attractions, and Pakistan’s tourism industry will surely occupy an important part. status!

Five of the 14 highest peaks in the world were discovered in Pakistan, including the famous and deadly Chogori (K2) peak. If you like mountain climbing, rafting or hiking, then Pakistan is the country for you.


3: Pakistan is possible...even carnival.


When I was in Lahore, before I knew it, I was invited to a very unique party built in the middle of nowhere...

I passed a small private security force to prove that I was on the guest list, and in the end, I attended one of the craziest parties ever. An international DJ, many young, wealthy and beautiful Pakistanis... It was a crazy night.

Unfortunately, due to this interesting intoxication, it is impossible to take pictures at the aforementioned carnival.


4: Pakistan is safe



And you can play with guns!

Recently, I have received a lot of questions about Pakistan, mainly-is it safe to travel to Pakistan? -The answer is relatively simple. Yes, as long as you avoid the border areas of Afghanistan.

Indeed, Pakistan does sometimes suffer from terrorist attacks, but it is not safe for you to sit at home. Pakistan is relatively safe. The media use fear and prejudice as news, don't let yourself be affected.

Sometimes, you may be assigned to the military and police escorts. This does not necessarily mean that you are in a dangerous area, but it means that the local police department wants to pay attention to you at all times.

I have several bodyguards, one of whom is sixty and has the strength of twelve. Even if they don't speak English and Chinese, I quickly become friends with them-just smile and maintain respect, just like in any other country, you will be fine.


5: Convenient communication, almost everyone in Pakistan speaks English!



Not long ago, Pakistan was part of the British Empire. Therefore, English is widely taught in schools and is usually the de facto language of all business and political interactions. For those traveling in Pakistan, this means you will be able to communicate well with the locals.

It is worthwhile to learn a little Urdu, because the people of Pakistan will be impressed by what you say. Usually, they will shower you with praise and a bright smile. English is also spoken in the mountains, so Urdu is actually a necessary language when you visit Gilgit-Baltistan.


6: The Silk Road in History


Following in the footsteps of ancient explorers, traveling in Pakistan is to return to a page in history. Marco Polo (Marco Polo) was one of the first European explorers to explore the Silk Road, an ancient trade route across the East, linking the treasury of the Roman Empire with the Chinese dynasty. The center of the trade route is the Karakoram Mountains, which is a key hub between the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Central Asia. It is a corridor through which three faiths can be promoted-Islam in the East, Buddhism in the North and Christianity in the West. To this day, the impressive Karakoram Highway spreads across Pakistan, and enjoys magnificent scenery, epic motorcycle adventures and the opportunity to follow historical footsteps.


7: You can drive on the highest road in the world



The Karakoram Highway is a high-altitude road connecting Pakistan and China. It is the highest paved road in the world and an important artery of Pakistan's economy. Trucks continue to travel along this route and transport goods between the two Asian countries.

The Karakoram Highway is also breathtaking! The road itself leads directly to the center of the mountains and offers unparalleled views. You will arrive directly at Khunjerab on the border of China by car!


8: Traveling in Pakistan may be cheap


Pakistan is the second cheapest country I have been to. It is possible to visit Pakistan with a budget of about RMB 700 per week and an average of RMB 100 per day-including food, accommodation, transportation and many great activities.

If you have Pakistani friends, they will almost certainly insist on hosting you. Pakistanis are so generous. Although I have tried to pay for dinner many times, my Pakistani friends will never allow it. They are all very hospitable.

Accommodation in Pakistan can be very expensive, but you can camp in multiple places and it is easy to find a companion. If you want to save on accommodation costs, be sure to pack your tents-tents are very worthwhile when staying in places like Fairy Meadows.

Trying to organize a solo expedition in Pakistan can be a little troublesome. For example, although trekking through Nepal to Mount Everest is relatively easy, going to Chogori requires a lot of logistics. Due to bureaucracy and expenses, most tourists may end up as part of organized travel in Pakistan-at least it will take a while.


9: Wonderful trek


Pakistan has the best trekking routes in the world, even better than Nepal. In Pakistan, you can take hundreds of truly amazing hikes-from simple day hikes to weeks of expeditions-and even the laziest backpackers will have the opportunity to see some truly amazing terrain.

While backpacking in Pakistan, I did several amazing trekking, the best of which was hiking to the legendary fairy meadow, where I spent three days soaking in the incredible mountain peak of Namga Beautiful view. I have my own place. It was the off-season, and I had to trek in the snow deep at my waist to reach my destination. This is a truly peaceful and special place.


10: Pakistani food is great



The food in Pakistan is amazing-rich, spicy and sweet; Pakistan has delicious curries, kebabs, fresh fruits and more.

When I was traveling in Pakistan, there were several times I tried my best to find the best snacks. Lahore has great (and spicy!) food, especially in the food court, I recommend everyone to the Haveli restaurant. However, the best Pakistani food I have ever had is at the stop by the Narran road!


11: Pakistani multiculturalism is awesome



Pakistan is a country often described by the media as religious intolerance. This is far from the truth, you can find Muslims, Christians and Hindus living side by side in cities in many countries.

The ethnicities of Pakistan are also diverse. Easterners are more Punjabi, Westerners are more Aryans (such as Iran), and northerners are more Turkic people-our friend Rehman is actually a branch of Tajik. In the more remote areas of the country, there are even many tribes still living largely undisturbed...

When traveling in Pakistan, all sides are attacked by new colors, tastes, sights and smells. I really feel that I have returned to the primitive spirit of adventure and am fascinated by the many colorful characters I encountered while traveling in Pakistan.


12: There are still untapped communities


Kalash is one of the most famous neighborhoods. In Chitral Province, the Kalash tribe is a very unique tribe of the indigenous people of Pakistan. It was once considered to be the descendant of Alexander the Great's soldiers-deserters who disappeared on the mountain.

The people of Kalash practice their own religious beliefs and like colorful festivals very much. Women are considered equal to men, and people generally enjoy more freedom than most Pakistanis.

If you wish, you can now visit the Kalash. Just contact a local travel agency in Pakistan and they will arrange everything for you.


13: Architecture in the Mughal Period



The Mughal Empire is one of the greatest dynasties in the Indian subcontinent, and has built many famous monuments, such as the Taj Mahal and Red Fort in India. Lahore has been the capital of the Mughal Empire for many years, which means it has the most glorious buildings in the empire!

Badshahi Mosque and Lahar Fort are two of the most impressive buildings in Asia and are well worth a visit. Both buildings are beautiful, almost like fairy tales. When I visited this attraction, I actually thought I was in Aladdin's world.

There are more Mughal buildings in Pakistan, including Rohtas Fortress, Shalimar Gardens and Jahangir Tomb. If you have the opportunity, please visit them all.


14: Pakistan has many beaches



The Arabian Sea is there...

People often think that Pakistan is a pure desert or mountainous mountains-they forget that Pakistan also borders the Arabian Sea!

Pakistan’s coastline exceeds 1,000 kilometers, most of which are empty. Imagine that there is almost no development on the desert beach, only the waves can contend with it. There are sea piles, arches, white cliffs and fine sand, all of which sound like perfect beaches to me.

Of course, many of Pakistan’s coastlines are restricted areas because it is part of Baluchistan Province. We recommend that you travel to the area with a travel agency in Pakistan.

The beach outside Karachi is very nice, beautiful and popular with locals. You will see the more interesting side of Pakistani culture and capture some serious light in the process.



15: Pakistani clothes are very comfortable



Some people on our trip decided to buy traditional Pakistani gowns. The combination of loose trousers and long shirt is not only shuddering, but it may also be the most comfortable clothing you wear-like being massaged by a bed cover all day long!

Although we did not fully "integrate" in, the locals must be surprised, confused and happy to see us shaky in local clothes, which has won us many hot dishes.



Northern Areas of Pakistan are like a Paradise , everyone should visit Pakistan once in life......
