Re: Pakistan's Best Kept Secret

^^ Most probably i will visit Balochistan this december but i am not sure if i will be able to visit these places, i am definitely gonna have travel along Makran Coastal Highway and Gwadar area though.
Northen Areas are on my priority list alongwith Gwadar, just hoping everything will go according to my plans :)

I am also planning to go on vacations, probably in Nov. or Dec.

So, that time, we can have a nice trip Inshallah,,,

I think,
GS members should arrange a trip together, which will be very nice.
What do you think???

Re: Pakistan's Best Kept Secret

WOW! I have never been to Balochistan myself, but these pics really make me wanna go there.

Re: Pakistan’s Best Kept Secret

Alas they have to air thailand, moritius and other stuff,
becharon ke pass time kahan bachta hae.

last year i was working on an assignment for native countries and i was shocked to find that even Bangladeshi tourism sites was full of stuff than PTDC and TDCP and other provincial site.:teary1:

Re: Pakistan’s Best Kept Secret

Yes, exactly,

Apnay country say ziada doosron kay country ka khayal rakhtay hai,:naraz:

Laikin jo kuch PK main hai,
Dunia main keheen neheen,

Re: Pakistan's Best Kept Secret

Great idea!!! It's always nice to discover these areas with travel mided people, none of my cousins are too much into travelling (they want to travel OVERSEAS ONLY). It's gonna be a TOUGH to arange all that though, i mean people have different timings, priorities and it's not an easy to task to arrange such a tour. (it's definitely gonna e nice though).

Re: Pakistan’s Best Kept Secret

EXACTLY!!! And it’s not just a patriotic statement, we definitely have EVERYTHING in our country, probably the ONLY thing we lack is some dense(WILD) FORESTS ( i might be wrong) otherwise we have EVERYTHING one can imagine.

If we can fix up our internal probems and promote our country, we can definitely get THOUSANDS of more tourists every year.

I used to think that our country is beautiful but not as much as Switzerland, NewZealand etc but the ONLY difference (apart from the DEVELOPMENT) is the QUALITY of photos. I saw some quality digital images of Northern Areas and it was simply mind blowing, i mean it just can’t get any better than that.

I can provide the link if anyone wants to have a look at them :slight_smile:

Re: Pakistan's Best Kept Secret

Oh sure,,,
give me the link, plz....

Re: Pakistan’s Best Kept Secret
