Traveling - My Passion

  Lahore is a beautiful historic city that is largely regarded as the cultural centre of Pakistan. It was founded in the 16th century. Since its founding sometime about the second century, the city has through a number of transitions and has been ruled by a number of different empires, ranging from the Hindu and Moghul to the Persian, Afghan, Sikh, and British. It has also been occupied by the British. A significant portion of the inner city of Lahore is peppered with vestiges of colonial architecture, including a splendid post office, white-pillared government buildings, and a spectacular church with a gothic-esque style. The other side is characterised by Moghul architecture, with shops and restaurants squeezed in amid the "gates" of the ancient walled city. The walled city dates back hundreds of years. In many ways, Pakistan is ruled by the province of Punjab, which has Lahore as its capital. It is by far the most populous and richest province, accounting for more than 55 ...

K2, the second-highest mountain in the world, is one of five peaks in Pakistan with a height of more than 8,000 metres. In order to attract more tourists, the government is steadily investing in amenities and infrastructure to provide additional attractions for sightseers, skiers, trekkers, and mountaineers.

For decades, the picturesque valleys of Gilgit, Hunza, and Skardu, nestled under snow-capped hills, have drawn tourists. Stunning views of the Hunza Valley may be had from the valley's high peaks, as well as its ancient sites, which...

The photographs don't do justice to the beauty of this place. Hunza was the destination for a much-needed family vacation at the end of the summer 2020. For some time, we had been working on the details of the trip, but there was one component of it that had us stumped. For those who don't want to deal with airplanes delays and cancellations, driving was an alternative. The second alternative was to fly to Gilgit, then take a two-hour road trip to Hunza from there. It was the picturesque path that ultimately won out. It's a lengthy journey, but it's worth it because of the breathtaking scenery that greets you around every corner. For the most part, I've traveled to Skardu by plane. Driving over the mountains on the Karakoram Highway is a whole other experience. The photographs don't do justice to the beauty of this place. Remember that if something seems amazing in an image, it will be much more beautiful in real. The Hunza Serena Inn, where we slept, pr...
