Pakistan: a short guide to Islamabad 🇵🇰

Pakistan: a short guide to Islamabad 🇵🇰

We spent a few days in Islamabad as we prepared (and recovered) from our trip north. While the city is not a primary point of interest, it is a good starting point for travelers in Pakistan, as you can ease your way into the culture with a more subtle start. Islamabad is green, organized and rather calm. Head over to its neighbour Rawalpindi for a more hectic experience. With bright colours, overcrowded markets and great street food. Here are our sights, food and accommodation recs 👌

It's the thrill of exploring new cultures, savouring exotic cuisines, and diving headfirst into the unknown.

We make sure to find the gems that will show you true local experiences and assure you stares from the locals - "How did they find this?". 🧳 Why should you trust us? Because we've been there. We've navigated bustling souks in Marrakech, trekked through lush jungles in Costa Rica, and shared meals with locals in remote mountain villages in Vietnam. We've learned from our experiences, embracing the unexpected twists and turns that make travel so exhilarating. So whether you're dreaming of exploring hidden temples in Indonesia, embarking on a culinary journey through Greece, or seeking adrenaline-pumping thrills in the rugged landscapes of Namibia, we will craft an unforgettable adventure tailored just for you.
