17 Astonishing Places You Wouldn’t

Believe Are In Pakistan

Pakistan, home to a population of almost 200 million people, rich in culture and exotic places for

tourism has faded under the dark clouds of terrorism and other mind-numbing concerns. However,

let’s for once not highlight our slip-ups and focus on the brighter side of things. These exotic

destinations will make you want to pack your bags and leave immediately.

Breathtaking!

This is Kalash Valley, Chitral. Where the Nuristani

people of Kalash speak ‘kalashamondr’.

Breathtaking!

Mud volcanoes found in different regions of Balochistan.

This particular one rests in Hingol, Balochistan.

Kalam Valley, Swat. A tourist hot-spot, labeled as ‘mini-

Europe’ by many.

Ghizer River in Gilgit-Baltistan. Wrapped around lush,

green and pleasant landscapes, Ghizer is a diamond in

the dirt.

Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains, Karakoram. Amongst

the largest in the world, these mountains are a

trekker’s fantasy.

Hunza Valley, Gilgit-Balistan. The Burushaski speaking

locals live a happy, peaceful life amidst cold weathers.

The Katas Raj Temple in Chakwal, Punjab. Remains of

the Buddhist Stupa. The Katas site houses the Satgraha,

a group of seven ancient temples.

Cape Mount Beach floats near the Gadani Beach,

Karachi.

The muscled formation of Hingol National Park in

Hingol, Balochistan. Home to exotic wildlife, the Hingol

National Park can serve as a stupendous tourist spot.

A view of the frozen sunset captured in Shandur Lake,

Gilgit-Baltistan. Where the locals like to play Polo and

live ordinary lives, Shandur serves as a tourist’s delight.

This astounding, lush green tourist spot is Arang Kel,

Azad Kashmir. Located on an altitude of 8,379 feet,

this striking sight is a 2km trek from Kel.

Overcast weather in Dharam Sar Lake, Kaghan Valley.

Resting in the Mansehra district of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa, this attraction was largely rebuilt after

2005’s earthquake.

The double-bed waterfall rests in Sajikot, Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa.

This tourism deprived sight is known as Moola Chotok in

Khuzdar, Balochistan.

This peach of a view is from the Neelam Valley,

Kashmir.

Attabad Lake, Hunza Valley, created by a landslide in

2010. The locals prefer referring to it as the Gojal

Lake.

An awe-inspiring view of Pir Ghaib, Balochistan. Locals

here believe in the myth of the Invisible Saint (Pir

Ghaib), who was saved by the Almighty.
