Introducing the Pakistan
With a rich archaeological heritage and spectacular nature, Pakistan stands out as both a cultural and nature destination. The country’s ancient history is represented by mosques, fortresses, monuments, and other sites, including many on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Meanwhile, the majestic Karakorum Mountains in the north and the Indus River in the south add to Pakistan’s attraction for travelers seeking outdoor activities such as trekking, mountaineering, desert safaris, and rafting. Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, offers expansive green areas and modern infrastructure; Lahore and Karachi are home to a number of notable heritage sites; and the Cholistan Desert, as well as the Hunza Valley, welcome hundreds of thousands of nature lovers every year.
