Pakistan

The link between the steamy subcontinent and the wild mountains of Central Asia

From the burning plains of Balochistan to the top of K2, the world’s second highest mountain, Pakistan is the link between the steamy subcontinent and the wild mountains of Central Asia. Four of the great mountain ranges of the world collide in the North and the scenary is matched by an eclectic collection of people and cultures.

The mountainous north offers some of the most dramatic scenery on the planet, with towering peaks, glaciers, icy blue rivers, lakes, dense forests and endangered wildlife, along with a tapestry of different communities and ancient villages. Driving through the region along the world famous Karakoram Highway is always among the highlights on a visit to Pakistan, as is exploring the mountains by foot, along some of its beautiful trails.

The country, however, offers much much more and its vibrant cities offer as much intrigue and fascination as the mountainous scenery in the north. From the historic Silk Road city of Peshawar, which still is a focal point of cross country trading today, to the ancient Mughal city Lahore, near the border with India. We travel right through the country on our trips, from the bustling city, Karachi, on the Arabian Sea, right up through the Indus Valley to the modern capital, Islamabad. The route was home to some of the earliest civlisations and offers a bounty of ancient sites, along with a wonderful tapestry of communities and all the vibrant sights, smells and sounds you expect from Pakistan.

We also venture to some of the lesser visited regions of the country, including the western province of Balochistan, bordering Iran and Afghanistan. This is still a part of the country which receives few international visitors, but has impressive national parks, beautiful beaches, ancient juniper forests and mountains, along with areas of harsh desert. You really feel like you’re going off-the-beaten track in this part of the country.

The beautiful sites and scenery in Pakistan are certainly things to marvel at, however, the incredible scenery takes second place in Pakistan, to some of the most hospitable and generous people in the world.  Please contact us with any questions you may have.
