Pakistan Travel and Destination Guide

Site of one of the earliest societies on earth, the Indus valley civilization, today Pakistan's image is deeply tinted with politics and religion. Modern Pakistan's young history has always been this way, tracing its origins to the schism that split India in 1947. But away from the turmoil of the region lies a deeper history. The Mughal forts and mosques of Lahore buzz with times past, while some of the highest mountains in the world make for stunning trekking. The strong of foot hike K2, the strong of nerve take the Khyber pass to Afghanistan, and the strong of stomach take the Karakorum highway - the highest road in the world.
