"Incredible Pakistan" Pakistan by matthewmerrington

Pakistan Travel Guide: 4,627 reviews and 7,833 photos

The greatest cultural adventure yet

The mountains, the people and the culture can only be described, without a second thought, as spectacular, hospitable and friendly, and fascinating.
It was truely not what I expected and it exceeded all expectations. Pakistan is an awesome country, which does not deserve the bad western press it gets.

kyber pass adventure

unforgiving landscape, rich in history, makes a great day trip from Peshawar

Kalash Valeys

this photo I can credit to the magnificant Imranthetrekker, a VT member. trekking is his forte and if you meet him, you wont be disapointed. The Kalash Valleys are one of the most beautiful places Ive ever been

Pros and Cons

Pros:wonderful people
Cons:slow and eratic transport in rural areas
In a nutshell:nothing you could imagine. an unbeknownst paradise

Ah, you are back! The Karakoram Highway must be awesome! Great pics! Did you also do some trekking around Nanga Parbat or maybe getting closer to the K2 and so on?
