Pakistan is a home to some of the most beautiful and scenic places on earth but unfortunately, our tourism industry is breathing its last. In a report presented at the World Economic Forum, Pakistan was ranked 113 in tourism out of the 133 countries. Needless to say, its the hub of mountaineering, the Karakorum range has some of the highest peaks of the world here such as the mighty K-2 (second highest peak after Everest), the Himalaya range also has its highest peak here commonly known as the Nanga Parbat (9th highest peak in the world), its famous as the killer mountain due to its extremely difficult tracks – even more difficult than Everest and K-2 and the third famous range is the Hindu Kush with its highest peak Trichmir – are all located in Pakistan . It has its fair share of the famous ‘SILK ROAD’, the legendary Karakorum Highway, valleys full of cherry blossoms, beautiful weather, distinct seasons and of course, its ‘very hospitable people’.
