The beautiful and enigmatic country of Pakistan is as varied in its landscape as it is in its peoples and cultures. Overwhelmingly however, Pakistan is a conservative Muslim country, although the largest city and once capital Karachi is more liberal and the obvious port of call for tourists. Pakistan enjoys a number of key annual events in addition to the major Islamic holidays, including the Kara Film Festival and the Sindh Sea Festival events in Karachi, as well as Independence Day And Pakistan Day, which are celebrated all over the country.

The cuisine of Pakistan is globally famous and whilst being similar to Indian cuisines, is specifically characterised by the use of spicy and aromatic flavours and rich taste. Typical main meals are curries served with flatbread such as naan and rice. In Karachi visitors are able to sample high end Pakistani cooking in the top hotels as well as cuisines from around the world. Top attractions in the country include the world’s second highest mountain, K2 as well as the ancient ruins of Mohenjo-daro which can be accessed from Karachi. The largest, most vibrant and most cosmopolitan city in Pakistan is also home to some of the country’s biggest annual events.
