Ignoring the trouble brewing by the bordering countries, Pakistan situated in the South Asian sub continent with its breathtaking landscapes, history and cultural heritage is Asia's best-kept secret. Home to the some of the world's earliest human settlements, the Indus Valley Civilization, Pakistan with five highest peaks, large glaciers and raging rivers is a paradise for trekkers. The lively narrow lanes of Karachi with street teahouses, restaurants, juice stalls placed besides wide metalled roads and elegant modern buildings blend the old and new. The terrain varies from the lofty mountains to the flat alluvial plains, the barren Baluchistan, hot dry deserts of Sindh, miles of golden beaches of Makran coast.
