We will begin in the modern capital of Islamabad where we will visit the super funky largest mosque in South Asia and see the more organised side to Pakistanās beautiful chaos. We will use our time in the capital to get those important visas for the following Afghanistan trip and will also visit the surrounding countryside where we can dive into Pakistanās ancient history, and small but existent alcohol production industry.
After Islamabad, we head north into some of the most spectacular mountains in the world located in Pakistanās Hunza Valley. The scenery up here is incredible for you mountain lovers as youāll be seeing peaks over 6-7000 metres above sea level all around you!
Next weāll head south to the huge bustling chaotic city of Lahore, which feels like itās in a different world to Islamabad. Here weāll experience the Mogul history of Pakistan, visiting the Lahore Fort and the famous Badshahi Mosque, but youāll also just get the chance to take in the vibe of this unique city. Your senses will be on high alert, with the intensity of the truck building yards, the street doctors, and the truly bizarre potions and notions on every corner.
From Lahore we will of course also visit the famous Wagah border ā a true and functioning border crossing into India, which also happens to be the home of the absolutely unmissable spectacle thatās put on every single day.
