Pakistan Things to Do Tips by Fudge

This was along a waterpipe walk in a place called Nathia Gali ( a place where Pakistani locals go to as a respite from their various cities). In my 3 days there, I only saw 4 foreign tourists!

The picture shows one of the view points and in the background you can roughly make out the mountains of Azad Kashmir (Independent Kashmir). The mountains were breathtaking and at every angle, they looked different and beautiful.

Decked out on 25th December being Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's birthday (a public holiday for this reason in Pakistan), you can visit this beautiful structure any other time of the year unless you want to beat the crowds on xmas day.

Built in 1954, this Quaid's mausoleum where many pakistanis come to mark respect for their country's founder, is stunning even from a distance. The interior is beautifully decorated, with chandliers being gifted from China and a intricate ceiling with motifs dating back to pre-partition days. (see other pics on link)

There is also a change of guards to watch for every few hours.

(Quaid is pronounced Ka-yed with a Q sound on the K)
