Pakistan: A Journey Between Nature and Fascinating Traditions

Surrounded by India, Iran, China, and Afghanistan, and bathed by the Arabian Sea, this vast country with a population of over 200 million is full of natural beauties and cultural riches. In northern Pakistan, the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges offer a spectacular show between K2 (the second highest peak in the world) and its base camp accessible at 5,000 m for good walkers, the high mountains of Nanga Parbat and Broad Peak, or the Snow Lake, a very high-altitude lake perched at nearly 5,000 m. The scenery changes in the south with the Cholistan Desert on one side and the Lal Suhanra National Park on the other. Pakistan also hosts many historical sites to immerse oneself in a millennia-old culture that blends Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. In the Punjab province, Lahore is a wonderful city where splendid shaded gardens sit alongside an old Mughal city and colonial-era British houses with an old-world charm. Don't miss visiting the coast at Karachi, the historic capital, or Taxila in the Gandhara region, a city over 3,000 years old.

A Hidden Gem to Discover Absolutely

It would be unfair to reduce Pakistan, "land of the pure" in Urdu, the cradle of a 5,000-year-old civilization, to its mere religious and security upheavals. A trip to Pakistan is entirely conceivable in certain provinces of the country.

Discovering the Must-Sees of Pakistan

In the north of Pakistan, in the heart of the Karakoram mountain range, the isolated region of Gilgit-Baltistan combines wild landscapes, dozens of glaciers, and architectural jewels like the city of Khaplu or the Shigar Fort. You will quickly understand why this region is nicknamed "Little Tibet." The second most populous city in Pakistan, Lahore, after Karachi, is undoubtedly the most beautiful of all. Royal Shalimar Gardens, 11th-century fort, Sikh and Hindu temples, remarkable Islamic monuments such as the Badshahi Mosque: the former capital of the Mughals is a journey in itself. The capital of Pakistan from 1947 to 1959, Karachi is much more than the economic and financial center of the country. The city hosts many museums, labyrinthine markets, lovely urban parks adorned with monuments, and even small beaches on the Manora Peninsula.

Explore Unusual Places

In the southeast of Pakistan, Sindh is a province rich in history. The old fort of Ahmadabad, the great wall of Ranikot, the monuments of the old city of Thatta, and the Jain temples bear witness to the richness of the civilizations that have succeeded one another here. The density of remarkable sites per square kilometer is impressive. 4,500 years ago, in the Indus Valley, there lived a very advanced civilization. It left us a metropolis whose ruins testify to a prodigious vitality and numerous enigmas concerning its writing or sudden disappearance. Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the old city of Taxila in the Punjab province concentrates the remains of three ancient cities. These cities were successively subjected to the influences of Persia, the Hellenic world, and Central Asia between the 6th century BC and the 2nd century AD.
