Top Pakistan places to visit while on your trip

The Attabad Lake

A visit to the Attabad Lake can be very relaxing and enjoyable. It is a small lake situated in the middle of Gojal forest in Pakistan. The lake was formed due to the flooding of the Attabad River, which was then connected with the neighboring rivers.

The name Attabad Lake is given as a reference to Atta Durga who is one of the most popular rivers in this valley.

There are many scenic spots in this lake and one can enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery and beautiful animals and birds here. There is an open highway connection to the cities of Hunza and Gilgit and the highway passes through the area where the landslide occurred so many travelers used this opportunity to take photos.

So, if you have the opportunity of visiting this place, do plan it with your family and friends and enjoy all the recreational activities that Attabad Lake has to offer.

The Chakuhandi Tombs

For centuries now, the Chaukhandi Tombs have been guarding the buried remains of noblemen, politicians, artists, and religious figures. Since the 10th century, the tombstones at Chaukhandi Tombs have been guarded by a local chieftain named Chhotelal.

The Chaukhandi Tombs are located at a distance of about 29 kilometers from Karachi. The tombs were also noted for their exquisite carvings made on sandstone. In fact, the beautiful designs and carvings that can be found on different parts of these Karachi tombs are testimony to the expertise and art that has been used over centuries. These exquisite works of art make the Karachi graveyard an important place to visit in order to pay your respects to the departed.

The cemetery at Chaukhandi Tombs is considered as one of the prime attractions of the city of Karachi in Pakistan. 

The Hussaini Hanging Bridge

Traveling through Pakistan’s rural areas is an interesting way to experience the natural beauty of the mountainous regions that stretch from Rawal and Azad Kashmir into the Karakoram and Southwestern Punjab.

One popular trekking destination is Hussaini, a village of about 40 homes perched on a cliff overlooking a small stream. The village is located on the left bank of the stream.

The highlights of the trip to this area would be the deterioration of the suspension bridge on the left bank of the stream. This crossing is probably the most dangerous due to the unstable condition of the planks and the difficulty in seeing the water below.

Given that this crossing is a highly dangerous and a narrow access point. However, it is still quite imposing and makes an unforgettable experience! Try carefully crossing it if you have the nerve to do so!
