What I did First
- What you need to do is to choose a continent where you want to travel or you have heard more about.
- I have traveled to Europe and Asia the most. The reason is that Europe is the most developed continent in the whole world.
- So you have to choose one of these two. If you want to know which one I visited first in Asia. It is best to explore nature. I visited Europe, mostly France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, and Chad.
Top Countries in Asia to Visit
Note: I have visited these countries, that’s why I am mentioning these here. You can visit your choice of Countries.
Top Places in Pakistan
There are many places in Pakistan that you can visit. But the most beautiful places in Pakistan are mentioned below. Following are the places to explore in Pakistan.
Balochistan- South-West Pakistan
Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province by area. All the areas discussed below are in Balochistan. I visited North and south Pakistan and explored it but not central Pakistan.
Gwadar
I visited south Pakistan, the Gwadar because it is near the Arabic ocean, the view was amazing. And I have heard about The CPEC. It’s my recent visit to Pakistan before the Pandemic.
Mud Volcano
Not only for this I visited, but there is also a volcano called ‘MUD Volcano’ mud bubbles out from it.
Queen of Hope
Next is the ”Queen Of Hope” Statue. the best thing about it is a historic statue, and there is a complete view of her crew, I mean there is are a bunch of other statues like this. This name was given by Hollywood actress Angelina Julie. I can’t state in words how beautiful the view was. There are no industries and no population nearby it (people live there but not in huge amount).
Crystal Clear Water
Next, comes a crystal clear water bay. I don’t know the name, but it is beautiful, surrounded by small mountains, falling from a small opening of a mountain. I tried swimming there. As I am not a good swimmer so I didn’t take full, advantage.
Important Message
One thing I want to clear is that I heard about security issues in Pakistan. My family told me not to go, for a moment before landing in Pakistan all the opinions, advice, and voices about not to go to Pakistan were in mind. But after landing, things were changed. And I can now say that Pakistan is a safe country. The beautiful places in Pakistan rejects the negatives about Pakistan.
I also met Eva Zu Beck (European Traveler, Youtuber) and Moro (Pakistani YouTuber) in Gwadar Port.
Islamabad- Capital Of Pakistan
Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. It is not a traditional city, it is constructed in 1960. Before the construction of this area was a forest, only 200 people live here before 1960. Nowadays more than 1 million people live here. It is the modern city of Pakistan.
Fun fact, it is the second most beautiful capitals in the world. London is first and Islamabad is 2nd. You have to stay here then you can go to northern Pakistan. But you can explore Islamabad. It is full of greenery the lush mountains are so beautiful. Let me tell you some names.
Damn- e – Koh and Monal
It is a place in the mountains. On the top, the end of this place is a hotel or restaurant called Monal, it is expensive for any other hotels in Pakistan. expensive means you can get any facility, like European foods, Chinese foods, and other foods. To be honest the Pakistani foods are too tasty than ours-the western foods. In the mid of the mountain is Damn-e-Koh, a park type beautiful forest, I faced some naughty Monkeys there. At the end of this Park, there is a place from which you can view the whole of Islamabad. In one the word ” amazing ”
The monument
It is not a historic place, it was made, during the 1960’s I guess. It shows the unity of all provinces of Pakistan.
Islamabad is a beautiful, city, no doubt, the perfect roads, transportation, landscapes like Faisal Mosque, Pakistan monument, Rawal lake etc.
Gilgit Baltistan(GB)- North Pakistan
I was first confused that I heard that Gilgit is a city or village. But after asking some locales, I came to know that Gilgit is a city within Gilgit Baltistan. Gilgit Baltistan is the fifth province of Pakistan. After interacting with the locales, I came to know the history of GB. Itis interesting. If u want to take full advantage and explore the subcontinent India and Pakistan, then you have to learn a bit Urdu-Hindi to understand the language. Both are the same but the names are different. Also, there are some differences.
Places in GB to visit
Skardu
Skardu is the most beautiful place in GB. I’ve spent two weeks in Skardu, it is amazing.
Cold dessert
It is a desert where you don’t feel warmth or heat in the daytime. It is a small dessert as compared to other desserts within Pakistan.
Heart lake
There is a lake with a heart-like shape, surrounded by houses just like the Chinese temples. As this area is near to the Chinese border. The houses around this lake are guest houses where you can spend your days.
There are some other places which don’t have names. Which are beautiful, valleys in the highs look amazing. Actually. I did asked about some village names which I forgot, unfortunately.
K2 – The second tallest mountain in the world
I visited the K2 mountain. I didn’t climb it, but I have seen it. It is humungous. There are actually 5-6 worlds tallest mountains in this region of Pakistan – the Himalayas region.
Hunza
The people of Pakistan are welcoming, kind, and respective. But the people of Hunza are on the next level. I mean they are the most respected people in the world. A short story about The people of Hunza.
I came here in Hunza early in the morning, as it was spring season people around the world and also from Pakistan visits the north. So there was a lack of hotels and food by the time(that doesn’t mean that food was the end in GB). I was so hungry. I asked in a hotel for something, they said I have to wait an hour for lunch. They call it Nashta- if I am right.
A person nearby me came and asked if I like to have lunch with him. I said why not. I thought he will be doing lunch with me as he asked. But the person brought some food from his home, tasty food. After lunch, I offered him money for his hospitality.
He refused to take that money. He said ‘ if you had lunch from my hotel then I would have taken money from you, but you had lunch from my house that’s why I can’t take money from you’. I limed his hospitality and now whenever I go to Hunza I meet him, take food from his hotel or shop.
Astore
The roads are under construction and it is a mountainy area so it is a difficult road journey, but not the valleys and places and natural landscapes it has.
Rama lake
It is located in Astore. It is 12000 feet above sea level. Amazing view from the top. And the roads on top are clean, meaning perfect roads. It is because the mountain slides don’t hit the roads.
Babusar Top
Between GB and KPK is Babusar top. Zigzag road turns. Breathtaking view, but beautiful. Cold on one start and hot on end. Amazing – covered by snowfall on top. Beautiful landscape.
Kashmir of Pakistan
It is the disputed region between Pakistan and India. But it is The Independent state of Pakistan, as the people say.
Muzaffarabad and some nearby Hill areas are awesome, wonderful, and stunning. The mountains are covered with snow, looks amazing.
Beautiful Areas of KPK
Naran and Kaghan
KKP is also a province of Pakistan. From Islamabad to GB, I traveled by Road. In between, there are two places Called Naran and Kaghan. Amazing valleys, greenery cold temperature.
Jeel Saif-ul-Maluk
It is a beautiful lake located somewhere in KPK. I have some memorable memories in Pakistan. It is the most beautiful lake in Pakistan.
Some of the Historic Places I’ve Visited
The places or buildings that were made by the ancient people are there in the province of Punjab and Sindh. In Lahore is the Badshahi mosque built by the Mughal Empire. Wazir Khan Fort is a beautiful place.
The Minar-e-Pakistan is also a good attractive and history of Pakistan related buildings. It is where the resolution of Pakistan was proposed. Two other places: Derawar Fort and Noor Mahal which I visited 6 times. I love these places and remind me of the beautiful old days.
My Experience
I had a great experience in Pakistan. I’ve visited 2 times Pakistan. The people of Pakistan are kind, respected, and welcoming people. I have spent most of the time in northern Pakistan. I have explored the whole region and I must say that ” beautiful Pakistan” the north Pakistan.
If you are a person who wants to explore history then the Punjab and Sindh province is best for you. And if you are a person who loves exploring the beauty of nature then you should go to the other 3 provinces; GB, KP, and Balochistan. The north has green, lush valleys. Some areas are high above the sea level, which are must-see areas. Ferry Meadows is a place where you can camp. Here you can find other persons from the whole world.
The roads are not that good but some amazing places will attract you. The last thing, Travel the while world, Travel Pakistan you will love this country and the diversities in this country.
