What to Expect with a Journey to Pakistan
You will find that the Pakistani people are one of the kindest, most hospitable people that you will ever encounter. Whether you’re exploring an urban centre or a rural village, you will find plenty of smiles waiting for you. It is a wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships.
The landscapes of Pakistan are equally impressive. 5 of the 14 highest mountain peaks in the world are located here, which means there are plenty of trails there calling your name. Safety is a top priority for everyone travelling to Pakistan as well. Although there are reports of border conflict, and you will sometimes find on Internet searches a need for police escorts, the country is safe for visitors. A country registered guide is provided as part of this trekking and sightseeing experience as well.
Then you have the chance to walk in the footsteps of those who came before. You’re able to explore the historic Silk Road, the ancient trade route which connected the Roman Empire with India and China.
