I've been guiding visitors through northern Pakistan for 3 years from first-timers terrified of the Karakoram Highway to seasoned trekkers chasing K2 base camp. That guiding background is what separates my writing from most travel content you'll find online: I've answered the same questions hundreds of times, in real situations, when the answer actually mattered. I cover destination guides across Pakistan Hunza, Lahore, Swat, Azad Kashmir because I've actually been to these places, often multiple times, in different seasons. My job is to give you the information that changes how your trip goes: the honest costs, the routes locals use, the things guidebooks leave out. If you're planning your first trip to Pakistan, start here.
