LONDON: The British newspaper The Telegraph has included Pakistan in a feature on places that still feel relatively unexplored.
Published on 15 August and written by Benedict Allen and Sarah Marshall, the article draws attention to the country’s northern mountains, historic sites and cultural heritage.
The writers focus mainly on the Karakoram, Himalayas and Hindu Kush. They describe the scenery around Hunza Valley, with its glaciers, meadows and wildflowers, and note the presence of high peaks including K2. The Karakoram Highway, which runs through the mountains towards China, is also highlighted.
Local communities in these areas receive mention for their hospitality and traditional way of life. The piece suggests that meeting people and experiencing daily routines forms part of the appeal for visitors.
