Nature's Splendour

You've probably heard of it approximately as many times as you've inquired about the reasons to visit Pakistan. With its sky-soaring snow-capped peaks and babbling rivers, the Gilgit-Baltistan region appears to be a paradise. The tranquility of this location attracts those looking to venture off the beaten path in search of beauty.

When the British Backpacker Society issued its list of the top 20 adventure destinations for 2018, no one expected Pakistan to take the top spot. After visiting in 2016, they made a heartfelt post inviting their thousands of followers to schedule a vacation to the country that same day! "Pakistan is one of the friendliest countries on the planet, with mountain scenery beyond anyone's wildest fantasy," they claim. Travel north to the breathtaking Karakoram peaks on the unforgettable Karakoram Highway, arguably the world's best road trip. It is beautiful, exciting, and culturally interesting, and at the end of the journey, travelers are rewarded with perhaps the most beautiful natural sight on the planet, Hunza Valley."
