Tourism in Pakistan

Change is the basic need of life and with out this change no human being can ever think of surviving. Tours and trips have got a great value because they bring about change in life apart from this they have also got a great educative value. Tourists are the people who bring people of different cultures together. Tourism spreads love, mutual understanding and knowledge.
If we compare Pakistan with other, nations as far as tourism is concerned than we find out that very few countries offer such variety, as does Pakistan. The reason being that Pakistan has got a very diverse culture, having natural endowments as well as historic treasure, which I am sure that is, possessed by very few nations. Switzerland is known and famous as the most beautiful country because it has got a massive natural endowment, which is considered to be better than any other place in the world. Believe me that if you ever visit Pakistan’s northern areas than you will find no difference between Pakistan and Switzerland.

Pakistan has got a separate tourism department for the spread of tourism in Pakistan namely PTDC that is Pakistan tourism development corporation., PTDC provides suitable literature and information to foreign tourists as well as the locals. The basic motive of this corporation is to spread tourism in Pakistan. Pakistan tourism Development Corporation has got it’s offices in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Abbotabad.


A large number of tourists visit Pakistan all year round. Pakistan’s historical places and natural beauty attract the foreigners who know the art of making the best out of life.

People with in Pakistan as well as the foreigners go to trips during spring or end of the summer to Muree, Ayubia, Swat, Kaghan, Naran and Ziarat. Muree, Ayubia, Swat and Naran are the places, which I have seen by myself and believe me that if you pay one visit to these places than you will definitely make the second visit also. Lake Saif-ul-Malook, which is the Heighest Lake on earth, is on 30-minute drive from Naran, this lake is just like heaven on earth. The depth of this heighest lake is still unknown. This beautiful lake is surrounded by the mountains which are all around it, and which add a lot to it`s beauty.

Hunza valley is rightly called the prettiest valley on earth,this valley is over-looking sky high peaks like K-2 and Rakaposhi.

The worth seeing historical sights are Bambore,Mukli, Thatta, the Lahore Fort, the Shalimars, Jahangir`s tomb, Taxila and Khyber Pass. Out of these Sights, Jahangir`s tomb and Khyber pass have got a great historical importance. Jahangir`s tomb was built by the great mughal emperor, Jahangir and Khyber pass is the pass from where the conquerors from other parts of Asia, like Afghanistan and Iran entered the sub-continent.
