LONDON: BBC Travel has included Pakistan’s Gilgi-Baltistan region among its list of 25 best places to travel in 2025.
“Pakistan is one of the world’s most populated nations, yet it remains one of the great surprises for travellers.
“That may soon change, as the country is hoping a slew of responsible tourism initiatives and new sustainable efforts will lure eco-conscious visitors to explore its breathtaking northern regions; home to five of the planet’s 14 peaks towering over 8,000m – including the world’s second highest, K2.
“Salam Pakistan (Pakistan’s first-ever national tourism brand, which launched in 2023) allows travellers to easily apply for e-visas and make bookings on the digital platform, including the coveted mountaineering and trekking visa.
“It only takes a quick glance at the list of mountain peaks and treks to see the scale of Pakistan’s unmatched adrenaline opportunities.”
