PAKISTAN is uniquely blessed with natural beauty and ancient history. The imprints of both endowments make Pakistan an exquisite destination for tourists from all over the world who find it attractive on multiple counts: its landscape features remarkable diversity ranging over mountain chains and glaciers, rugged plateaus, sprawling deserts, large rivers, lakes, and sea. Its people weave into a gorgeous ethnic mosaic depicting vibrant colors of an illustrious heritage. Its cuisine is a refined blend of distinctive spices and savory flavors, whose irresistibly appetizing aroma attracts gourmets and culinary tourists from around the world. Pakistan offers a vast variety of choices to its visitors, providing them with unforgettable experiences.

There are a few areas in the world where mountains rise in such awesome splendor, as they do in the northern areas of Pakistan. The second-highest mountain in the world, K-2, and almost 37 of the world’s 100 highest peaks are in Pakistan—five of them over 8,000 meters. It has also the highest concentration of glaciers outside the Polar region, with seven of them being over 40 kilometers long. Amid towering snow-clad peaks, the valleys of Gilgit, Hunza, Baltistan, and Swat, among other regions are full of fascinating sceneries. The cultural patterns and historical sites of these regions are as interesting as their geography. The Gandhara Buddhist civilization once flourished in these areas, which reflects today through unique relics of Buddha sculptures.
