Top Six Tourist Destinations In Pakistan

1. Lahore For Culture

If your short stay in Pakistan allows you to visit just one place, make sure it’s Lahore. This ancient Mughal city isn’t home to just the most historic places in the country, it also hosts an exciting modern cultural scene. Lahore’s food scene is fabulous, too.

2. Karakoram Highway For Scenery

This 1,300 km-long highway is one of the world’s greatest road trips, offering front-row views of Rakaposhi, Nanga Parbat and other dramatic mountain peaks. Since the northern part of the Karakoram Highway remains closed between January and April, plan your trip accordingly.

3. Fairy Meadows For Hiking

Gigantic Nanga Parbat rises above the alpine forest and fertile grasslands, with the serene landscapes getting reflected in the water of still lakes. While Fairy Meadows features a few tourist cottages and guesthouses, camping will always bring you closer to nature.

4. Moenjodaro For Ancient History

Considered one of the oldest cities in the world, Moenjodaro was built in Sindh more than 4,500 years ago. This was the centre of the culturally and technologically sound Indus Valley Civilisation, which stretched across Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

5. Karachi For Nightlife

As Pakistan is officially alcohol-free, you won’t find a lot of Western-style nightclubs in the country. But there is still a lot to do in Karachi once the sun sets. While some venues attract live music lovers, some others get packed every evening with foodies.

6. Attari For Closing Ceremony

The Attari-Wagah border post offers the only way to cross between Pakistan and India by land. Its daily closing ceremony is something you can look forward to, as it offers one of the most beautiful examples of military posturing you will ever see in the world.
