Explorers and tourists have been visiting Pakistan for centuries to travel on the striking Karakorum highway, an incredible feat of high-altitude engineering that stretches between Kashgar in China and the famous Northwest Frontier. There are also the crowded cities in the south of the country, home to much of its modern industry, while the provinces in the north contain most of the country’s historic remains.

For urban attractions, visit Lahore, with its grand architecture and plentiful shopping opportunities.

It also gives you some insight into the older traditions of this fast-developing country.

Other famous attractions include Hingol National Park, the biggest in Pakistan, and the highest mud volcano on earth.
