Would YOU Ride This BUSINESS CLASS TRAIN in PAKISTAN? 🇵🇰 (28 HOURS)

Pakistan business class train 🇵🇰 I took the local train from Islamabad to Karachi which took over 28 hours! The train cost me $93 and it was a business class ticket. This was a crazy adventure.

India is crowdy, has unequal wealth distribution, but we don't hide it or fake it by paid bloggers. We are trying hard to make our lives better rather than faking it with our lifestyle. More than 20 million pakistan people lives in India in various parts of Mumbai,old Delhi, rajasthan to make a living. We even allow pakistan people to fish in Indian waters, give them cheap medicines, medical treatment, good education. They return our love with Human bombs. Indian's are not even allowed to enter into pakistan, unless u have relative living their. Shame !

I feel so angry for the hotel in karachi. These guys (hotel owners) cause defamation for the country. I mean look at the ceiling of the room .. horrible... And the advertising board that barriers the outside view from inside the room window. Pakistan government should design a mechanism to control and regulate the hotels in order to insure that these hotels must offer good enough services to compansate for money they charge from their clients.

[@BackpackerBen]

agreed, the staff didnt care either and the bathroom was disgusting!!

[@thewanderer8]

I always keep passport, cash and cards in a flat money pouch under my trousers, and a few hundred dollars sewn into my bag. I'd never leave them in a bag - just too easy to nick, forget, be slashed etc. And would always use a thin steel loop and padlock for bigger bags, to stop enterprising thieves from walking off with the bag when I'm fast asleep or need to go to the bog, and especially where there's a constant stream of food sellers, chai wallahs etc coming and going.

Dear we don't have slums in pak. They are concrete houses but u may say dirty as no one bothers to clean it up and these people got business here, no debts and also alot of savings.

You should definitely visit white palace in swat, makli necropolis in thatta Sindh, neelum and arang kel in azad kashmir, kalash valley in kpk. These are a must visit places. I personally have visited all of them and they are really breath-taking. Also, you can find aloootttt of scenic beauty of mountains, valleys and lakes, as well as ancient forts and buildings in kpk. I have travelled almost half of pakistan so trust me, it will be worth it. Loads of love from 🇵🇰❤️ Edit: My profile pic is of kumrat valley in kpk. It's also dazzling. But make sure to check the weather forecast before leaving bcz there is no proper road, infact you travel through unpaved path between the forest (another great experience) so the snow could be a problem🙂
