If you are touring for the first time, there are a few things that you should be mindful of. First and foremost, you should make a budget. How much you have at your disposal will determine the nature and scale of your trip. 

Secondly, it’s important to make travel arrangements from one spot to another. This would prevent any last-minute panic and save you from overspending. 

Lastly, we can’t recommend enough to read the customer reviews of the hotel you are visiting. Poor reviews often translate to a poor experience which may spoil the entire tour. Once you’ve checked off everything from this list, you are ready to begin a memorable trip. 

Here is a list of places in Pakistan for tourism 

• Hunza Valley

  No discussion about tourism in Pakistan is complete without the mention of the Hunza Valley. If you are a Pakistani, it’s unlikely that it’s the first time you have heard about it. However, many aren’t aware that Hunza is not a valley. It’s an enormous district with villages and valleys. 

  Its lush green splendor reminds all who witness it of the sheer magnificence of nature. Indeed, it is an experience that no one should deprive themselves of. 

• Naran Kaghan

  In the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Naran Kaghan is a paradise for nature lovers. Its free-flowing rivers, soothing meadows, serene lakes, and profound mountains make it resemble something out of a book. 

  Fortunately, the recent uptick in commercial activity has started attracting international tourists. With the lack of light pollution there, the night sky reflects on lakes such as Saif-ul-Mulook creating images that will never leave your mind.

• Bahawalpur

  If you’re a bit of a history geek, then a little city in Punjab may be worth the visit. Located between India and arid landscapes, it was a once-princely state of the Rajputana states that stretched across the Indian Subcontinent. Once ruled by Nawabs and Nizams, it’s still populated by monuments and old architecture like Noor Mehal that gives you an insight into medieval India. 

  Moreover, the Derawar Fort traces its history back to the 9th century. Its impressive 30-meter-high bastions surround the fort and its walls that span over 1.5 km. It is truly a sight to behold.

• Ranikot Fort

  Though it doesn’t get the fame it deserves, the Ranikot Fort is the largest in the world. Often referred to as “The Great Wall of Sindh”, it’s an architectural wonder located near Jamshoro, Sindh. Though it has constantly suffered due to poor governance, its splendor still rallies and attracts tourists every year. 

The most unique aspect of the site is the mystery that surrounds it. No archaeologist has ever been able to explain why it was constructed and for whom. What remains crystal clear is that it’s a landmark of Pakistan that requires more attention and maintenance. 

All in all, the tourist attractions of Pakistan and numerous and hold limitless potential. It is incumbent upon the government to keep on elevating them and prevent any damage to heritage sites. Pakistan is just beginning to explore the endless potential its tourism industry possesses.
