How I Spent 19 Days in Pakistan in the Summer of 2024: Part 1, Krasnodar - Dubai - Islamabad

Prologue

In the summer of 2024, I embarked on a 19-day journey to Pakistan, a land steeped in ancient history, diverse cultures, and breathtaking landscapes. From the bustling streets of Karachi to the serene valleys of the Himalayas, Pakistan offered an unforgettable adventure that left an enduring mark on my soul.

Arrival in Pakistan

My journey began in the southern city of Karachi, where I arrived on a flight from Dubai. As I stepped out of the plane, I was greeted by a vibrant and chaotic atmosphere, a testament to the city's status as Pakistan's economic and cultural hub.

From Karachi, I boarded a domestic flight to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The flight offered stunning views of the country's diverse geography, from the arid plains of Sindh to the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. As I approached Islamabad, I was struck by the city's modern skyline, a symbol of Pakistan's rapid development in recent years.
