It’s no secret that I absolutely love Pakistan… I’ve been traveling in this amazing country since 2015 and it never fails to amaze me just how stunning it can be. The mountains, and the people, are just out of this world… For adventurers, Pakistan is simply the greatest country in the world.Still not convinced? Read on amigo for 18 AMAZING things I’ve learnt about Pakistan on my trips so far…
Pakistan’s greatest mountain chain is the Karakoram and is located in the far northern province of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is one of the most epic ranges in the world and makes Pakistan a trekker’s paradise, truly.
Because of their size, the Karakoram are often compared to the nearby Himalaya. I think that the Karakoram are in a league of their own though and after spending over 8 months in total exploring the Indian,
Nepalese and Bhutanese Himalayas, I can honestly say that the Pakistani Karakoram mountains are the most stunning mountain ranges that I have ever seen…
Northern Pakistan actually contains the densest collection of 8000 meter peaks in the world. In the Central Karakoram National Park, which is roughly the size of Jamaica,
you can see four 8000ers – K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I, and Gasherbrum II – and endless 7000ers. K2 is also the world’s second-highest mountain at 8,620 meters.
