I'm planning to cross border from China to Karimabad, Pakistan and back to China. But I've made some research and found I have to pass Khunjerab pass which is 4600m high (might be high altitude sickness), terrifying roads, occasional road closing due to landslides, boats which might stop due to rain and wind... I'm thinking that it'll be so tough for me...But is it actually easier than I think? I'm kind of chicken guy but Shouldn't I mind and just go?

Hello,

I will be staying in Islamabad from June until September and had some questions for foreign residents and travelers in Islamabad.

(1) Have you experienced or seen any security issues in the city?

(2) Have you had any problems being foreigners in the city?

(3) Is there a cheap hostel for travelers in Islamabad?

(4) Do you know any place offering short-term furnished rentals in the city?

Thanks for you help!

Hello,

How was the weather?

Was it easy to find accommodations in Sost and Gilgit?

How much does a 4x4 jeep cost for a day? can we share it?

Hi Guys I am planning a trip to Naran, Kaghan etc from Lahore in mid augest. We are of 5 friends. I have no idea how to get from Islamabad onwards. I was hoping the experts here help me plan this trip and recommend places to visit and stay. We plan to do 5 - 6 days trip. I would appreciate your help choosing the best sight seeing that we can do in these days. I have seen pictures of Naran, Kaghan, Shogran, Saif Ul Malook etc but I have no idea how geographically dispersed these are from each other and even if it makes sense to do all these in one trip. Your help figuring this out would be highly appreciated. Note that we have never done this before and probably never will after this trip. So we want to hit the maximum spots possible.
