The Hidden Side Of Pakistan. Gilgit Baltistan

in #hive-1637722 years ago

Hello to all my Hive Friends

A lot of you might not have heard about Pakistan and even if you did, you might have heard about it in some news associating it with something bad. Well, here I am, a Pakistani. I will try to show you all the beauty and the hidden side of Pakistan from First Person Perspective.

Pakistan is a beautiful land. From the Ocean in the south to the highest mountain ranges in the North. To the barren lands in the west to the fertile farms in the East. It also serves as a very important trade route for all the South Asian and Asian countries in general. So, countries all over the world try to keep good ties with Pakistan gor obvious reasons.

I visited Gilgit Baltistan quite recently for a community service and let me remind you that Gilgit Baltistan is one of the most beautiful places in the world. There we had off roading, treks hikes, visited different lakes and what not.

Since I live in the most southern city of Pakistan, Karachi, I had to take a lot of trains, switch buses and travel through a lot of cities in order to reach Gilgit Baltistan. I'm not sure whether you'll believe it or not but I traveled for continuous 34 hours without having a stay anywhere in between. But it was all worth it. I'll skip most of the traveling part in this post and will directly show you the beauty of Gilgit Baltistan.

There were a lot places to visit in the region and almost all of them required us to off road. So we had already booked 4x4 jeeps in which we'd be traveling for the next couple of days.

The kind of guy I am, I just couldn't sit inside the jeep and miss all the fun that I could have had being on top of the jeep. So, when the jeeps stopped for a short water break, I hopped on to the top and trust me it was one of the most dangerous things that I have done in my entire life.

The ride was so so rough with the jeep bumping up and down on hige rocks, waterfalls, streams and whatnot but I had too much adrenaline gushing through my veins to miss this once in a life time oppurtunity.

We finally reached the G spot and this rough ride was worth every penny. I had never seen such a beautiful sight in my life ever before.

What a beautiful landscape you have brought us.

I know the roads are difficult to traverse. But, those roads are amazing and what warriors those jeeps are.

The mountains, the sky, the river, the roads, everything is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing and for showing Pakistan.

34 hours on the road? Man, you would literally cross my whole country back and forth several times during that time :D But seeing the pictures, it was really worth it. The landscape looks fantastic, like Canada or Slovenia. Beautiful.

A typo from my side bro. It was 44 hours, not 34 xD. You live in a beautiful country indeed, didn't know it was that small xD

The landscape looks fantastic, like Canada or Slovenia. Beautiful.

It's majestic here. Absolutely beautiful. Did you know we call Kashmir, the 'Pakistani Switzerland.' My upcoming blogs will be about Kashmir and other such places.

Thank you so much for passing by

44 hours, that´s insane... So I just checked and your country is almost exactly 10x bigger than mine in terms of area :D

It was really a beautiful place. Wow! What a daring adventure you had in there, and the surroundings were breath-taking!

Thank you so much. It indeed was one of the best trips
