In this video:
*Wagah border crossing: See what it’s like to travel overland from India (Amritsar) into Pakistan, crossing the famous Wagah border.
*Pakistan Monument: I visit this iconic landmark - a tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for a free and independent Pakistan. By chance, I also discover the beautiful nearby park called Shakarparian (or ‘Friendship Park’).
*Hiking Trail 5: A serene hike in the Margalla Hills, enjoying stunning views of the city and a spontaneous hitchhiking adventure back to town.
*Vegetarian in Pakistan: Find out if it’s possible to be a vegetarian in Pakistan.
*Faisal Mosque: Finally, I get to explore the stunning contemporary design of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.

Islamabad really is the perfect example of how there's so much more to Pakistan than meets the eye. It’s a city that keeps surprising me, and I hope by watching this video, it will surprise you too!

As a Pakistani American I visited Islamabad for the first time in 2022. Went back in 2023 and going again in 2024. Hanging out in F7 markaz is probably my favorite thing. Unending list of restaurants and shopping all in one place. Extremely affordable, great people, great weather in November and December. Islamabad, you take my breath away.

[FlorianFlaxman]

Islamabad is a beautiful and modern city.

[ibtisamjoiya]

Pakistan is the most diverse, hospitable and beautiful country in the world.

[goranmards]

Been several times to India but i realize after visiting Pakistan that both India and Pakistan are much different. Its much more cleaner and not so crowded like India. Also Pakistan has more of Middle eastern/Persian touch rather than India.

MashaAllah Pakistan is a very beautiful country Love from Bangladesh

Hello female solo traveller here . I am so excited to share that I'll be visiting Pakistan next month! From everything I've heard, it sounds like a stunning country with a relaxed vibe and welcoming people. I can't wait to experience it all firsthand and share my journey through videos on this channel. Love from the USA

Pakistan is a place of dreams. Once a person visits it, his/her heart will yearn to see this country again and again. The beauty of Pakistan is endless. I have been to Pakistan more than 10 times.

For those who did'nt understand the how islamabad monument represent unity. The big four petals are actually representing the 4 major proviences of Pakistan Punjab, KPK, Baluchistan and sindh. And three small petal represent the three territories which are Kashmir, gilgit and FATA (Tribal Areas) Now the fata is part of KPK.

I love your comments on being open minded to explore and check out Pakistan!

As a Pakistani American, and lived in Pindi/Isb, you will find Isb as a special place, with lovely people and mix of culture and history!

I used to enjoy the pir sawa wah and food!
Enjoy!
