Pakistan
Home to the famous Khyber Pass, gateway between Asia and the Indian sub-continent, and K2, the world’s second highest mountain, northern Pakistan’s scenery is nothing if not humbling. And yet Pakistan’s fertile southern orchards and bustling cities provide an unexpected contrast to the mighty Karakoram ranges. Here you will find superb examples of Moghul architecture in the old city quarters, a centuries-old tradition of hospitality and a micro-culture unique to each city just waiting to be explored. Pakistan is a destination to satisfy the extreme outdoor adventurer, the casual trekker and the cultural tourist alike.
