Those who think that Pakistan is all about historical sites, great cuisine, exciting cities and bustling bazaars I gotta admit, ya got me...
may be not be aware that Pakistan is also an excellent destination to enjoy adventure sports.
Honest to Gawd, I did not make this up...
There are a number of adventure sport destinations in Pakistan, which one can travel to. And the range of the adventure sports in the country is immense.
From beheadings to bombings to Islamic fanaticism, Pakistan's got it all...
But no more skiing since Swat's closed for the holidays ...
From jeep safari to mountaineering, from fishing to river rafting, from skiing to trekking, Pakistan is endowed with such geographical features that make it excellent tourist destination for adventure sports.
Tell 'em about the friendly, helpful natives...
Pakistan is home to some tailor made destinations for adventure sports be it jeep safari, river rafting, mountaineering or trekking. The country is home to five of fourteen peaks above 8,000 metres - K-2, Nangaparbat, G-I & II and Broadpeak. Besides, 70 percent of mountain peaks above 7,000 metres are also located in Pakistan.
| Actually all these peaks are in Jammu and Kashmir, not Pakistan proper and the Indians also claim them |
Watch out for those IEDs though. Our fun loving locals just love those practical jokes...
Rivers Chitral, Indus, Gilgit, Swat, Hunza, Kunar and the Neelum offer exciting opportunities for water sports.
...and we don't mean fishing.
Pakistan also offers beautiful spots for skiing. Malam Jabba is one of the best skiing resort. If jeep safari is what gives one thrill, perhaps there is hardly any destination as exciting as the Northern Areas.
