Pakistan

Last updated: 2026

Pakistan is a fascinating destination for adventurous travellers, offering spectacular mountain scenery in the north, including the Karakoram Range, Nanga Parbat and the legendary Hunza Valley, alongside ancient archaeological sites and historic cities. Its cultural highlights include Lahore’s Mughal architecture, the UNESCO-listed forts and gardens, colourful bazaars, and the remarkable Buddhist heritage of the Gandhara civilisation. Although tourism infrastructure can be limited outside major cities and travelling often requires patience and careful planning, Pakistan rewards visitors with extraordinary hospitality, authentic experiences and some of the most dramatic landscapes in Asia.
