Is it safe to go to Pakistan
Yeas Pakistan has just been advertised by media so badly
that people think it is so bad but in fact it is as safe
as your home town. There is absolutely no danger No purse
snatching street violence or any other odd in this
country
If Pakistan is so safe how do you
explain US state department travel advisory.
It is a known fact that US travel advisories are usually
written by those who have never visited the country
themselves. They seem to mix Afghanistan with
Pakisan.They repeat the same thing again and again only
because of lack of interest by our governments. Otherwise
for other countries same advisories are issued and waived
off immediately. Just because of PR. Our rival India is
rather big country and US can not afford to break ties
with them. In order to please them such advisories are
issued.
What about women can they travel
to Pakistan
Off course! Pakistan is a Muslim country women are given
equal right of a man in Islam. There is no problem for
women to travel to Pakistan, however a modest dress like
a T shirt jeans long skirt is recommended. Shorts should
be avoided in the bazaars and cities. Half sleeves shirts
are OK
What about men can they wear
shots
It is the same as women it is recommended that short are
not worn in busy areas.
What about the roads in Pakistan.
The roads in Pakistan are all well paved and are metled.
