Pakistan

Pakistan, a country of diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage, offers explorers a tapestry of experiences that span ancient civilisations, vibrant cities, and stunning natural beauty. In Islamabad, the modern capital nestled against the backdrop of the Margalla Hills, you can explore modern architecture, serene parks, and bustling markets. The nearby ancient city of Taxila, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reveals traces of Gandhara civilization through its well-preserved ruins and Buddhist stupas.

In Lahore, the cultural capital, you can wander through the historic Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque, marvel at the intricate Mughal architecture of Shalimar Gardens, and immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of its bazaars and street food scene. Further north, the mountainous region of Gilgit-Baltistan beckons with its towering peaks, including K2, the world’s second-highest mountain, and picturesque valleys like Hunza and Skardu.
