The Pakistan We Never Knew!


Glaciar Pool, Pakistan.

The Baltoro and other glaciers of the Karakoram, Pakistan are the largest and longest in the world outside the polar region. From it's spectacular birthplace in Concordia, at the base of K-2 and the Gasherbrum range, the Baltoro Glacier flows for more than 59 kilometers, a rippling, pitted, pockmarked river of ice, where great glaciers slide and slither together before separating to go their different ways.
A Glacier Stream-The Baltoro Glacier, at 62 kilometers long, is one of the longest glaciers outside the polar regions. It is located in Baltistan, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan.
Altit Fort, Pakistan

It is an ancient fort in the Hunza valley in the Northern Areas of Pakistan.
The architectural style is a clear indication of Tibetan influence at those times.
Angoori, Pakistan.

This is not a scene from 'A Walk to Remember'. It is the Angoori Road, on the way to Murree.
Ayubia National Park, Pakistan.

The park supports one of the best examples of moist Himalayan temperate forest in Pakistan. It consists entirely of reserve forests, which spill out of the park area on the west and south sides. The scenery is superb with huge pine forests covering the hills and providing shelter to the larger and smaller mammals.

Large varieties of beautiful birds, animals, plants adorn this green place. Hill cats can be spotted while brown monkey are a common scene. Yellow beaked magpie, red and yellow body finches, white cheeked or crested grey finch and many other species of birds make the park their home.
BataKundi, Pakistan.

It is the most beautiful area of Kaghan Valley just a few kms away from Naran.
 
Chitta Khatta Lake, Pakistan.

One of the most wonderful treks where you start from Kaghan and end up in Neelam.
Like any other population of the subcontinent it has the most heterogeneous population with variety of rituals, customs and traditions. The whole valley is full of beautiful and fascinating scenes!
Gadani Beach is the location of Gadani ship-breaking yard, which is one of the world's largest ship-breaking yards.
Pakistan Zindabad!
