Although Pakistan is home to some of the most visited tourist sites, such as the Hunza Valley, Badshahi Mosque, and K2 Mountains, it also has many other underrated and beautiful sites. These sites may not have similar recognition, but they are equally interesting and present the错Pakistan's various geographical and cultural experiences to tourists. Below is a list of some of the best travel destinations you probably haven't heard of before.
1. Ratti Gali Lake
Ratti Gali Lake is situated in the Neelum Valley of Azad Jammu and Kashmir; it is an alpine glacial lake with crystal clear water surrounded by snow-covered mountains and green pastures. The place can only be reached by jeeps and a short hike, which makes the place a suggestive location for those interested in nature.
2. Gorakh Hill Station
It also has its moniker as the 'Murree of Sindh'; Gorakh Hill Station is located in the Kirthar Mountains at a height of 5,688 feet. It provides shelter from the hot climate throughout the year and a spectacular view of the neighborhood. It is an excellent shelter from the scorching heat of southern Pakistan and offers a great location for camping at night and watching the stars.
3. Banjosa Lake
Banjosa Lake is an artificial lake located at Rawalakot in Azad Kashmir, bounded by thick pine trees and lowland hills. It is a perfect place for picnicking, boating, and taking pictures because of the calm waters and serene surroundings.
4. Hingol National Park
This park is in Balochistan province, the largest national park in Pakistan, where you can find Sindh Ibex and Balochistan bears. It is well known for its striking rocks, the most noticeable of which is the statue of the 'Princess of Hope' along the Makran Coastal Highway overlooking the sea.
5. Siri Paye Meadows
Siri Paye Meadows is comparatively lesser known and less crowded than the nearby Shogran in Kaghan Valley, only a few kilometers apart. These meadows present excellent views of the Makra Peak and are filled with flowers during the summer; therefore, the meadows are famous for hiking and nature walks.
6. Thandiani
Thandiani, an Urdu word meaning very cold, is a hill station near Abbottabad. As the name suggests, the area greatly retains cool temperatures even during the year's hottest season. It is a less-known place with thick forests, foggy morning views, and beautiful scenery, making it an ideal place to relax away from city life.
7. Chitta Katha Lake
Chitta Katha Lake is an alpine lake in the Shounter Valley of Azad Kashmir. Although not as famous as other waterfalls, it is worth getting there partly because it has difficult access. This beautiful gem is embedded in the secluded lake surrounded by mountains and has incredibly bright turquoise water.
8. Karakoram Highway
While they travel through the Karakoram Highway, which is so beautiful and full of mountains and streams, they hardly look at the Passu Cones. These particular high and distinct peaks are situated near Passu village in Gilgit Baltistan and are one of the most stunning places in Pakistan.
9. Makran Coastal Highway
Located near the Makran Coastal Highway in Balochistan, Kund Malir Beach is still one of Pakistan's least developed and explored beaches. Coconut palm-fringed, golden sand and clear blue waters make it ideal for those seeking serenity in the Arabian Sea without the bustle of a beach.
10. Toli Pir
PirThe other less explored gem of Azad Kashmir is Toli Pir, a hilltop with beautiful views of the valleys and Poonch River. The area is great for hiking and picnicking, and in the middle of greenery, it is excellent for those seeking tranquility.
