Despite all its civil turmoil, Pakistan actually offers endless discoveries, only if your willing to pay no attention to the constant travel warnings and bad media coverage. Travel the Karakoram Highway while gasping at the beauty that is the endless peaks of the Karakoram Mountains, or wander through the architectural glories of the former Mughal capital Lahore, while sightseeing through the ancient bazaars of Quetta or the cosmopolitan streets of Karachi. Pakistanis are quite conservative, yet are welcoming and hospitable by nature. Travelers are usually met with genuine interest and enthusiasm. The scams and hustling you might experience in heavily traveled place ike India, are nowhere to be seen here.
