What Pakistan and Gilgit-Baltistan offer to Adventure lovers.

Pakistan

Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and nature. Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing, and bird watching are the few activities, which attract the adventure and nature lovers to Pakistan. Pakistan is endowed with rich and varied flora and fauna. High Himalayas, Karakoram, and the Hindukush range with their alpine meadows and permanent snow line, coniferous forests down the sub-mountain scrub, the vast Indus plain merging into the great desert, the coastline, and wetlands, all offer a remarkably rich variety of vegetation and associated wildlife including avifauna, both endemic and migratory. Ten of 18 mammalian orders are represented in Pakistan with species ranging from the world’s smallest surviving mammals, the Mediterranean pigmy shrew, to the largest mammal ever known the blue whale. Pakistan has a centuries-old history and an incredible cultural heritage that is unique to the sub-continent. The region has been a crossroads of various historic trade routes, incl. the Silk Road, with several ancient cultures and a multitude of empires and dynasties having left their marks all over the country. Pakistan has something to suit everyone.

Gilgit Baltistan

Gilgit-Baltistan (formerly known as the Federally Administered Northern Areas or FANA) is the northernmost political entity within Pakistan. It borders the territory of Azad Kashmir to the South, the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west, Afghanistan to the north, the Xinjiang autonomous region of China to the east and northeast, and Jammu and the Kashmir State of India to the Southeast.

GB is, perhaps, the most spectacular region of Pakistan in terms of its Geography and scenic beauty. Here world’s three largest mountain ranges – Himalaya, Karakoram, and Hindukush meet. Five of the fourteen peaks higher than 8000 meters including the world’s second-highest peak K-2, 29 peaks over 7500 meters, 137 are over 7000 and 500 peaks ranging from 6000 to 8000 meters are located in Gilgit-Baltistan. The whole of Gilgit-Baltistan is like a paradise for mountaineers and trekkers.
