Pakistan’s Essential Road Trips

If you have a good budget for food, fuel and have a good car with some people to escape the city life then having a road trip in Pakistan would be an unforgettable experience without being hectic. These are the best road trips you can take in Pakistan while you enjoy the most stunning views.

There is a 6-lane motorway connecting Lahore and Islamabad from where you can get to NathiaGali. From the M2 motorway, it will take you approximately 6 hours with various beautiful stops in between. When you get to Islamabad, you will have two options to get to NathiaGali, taking a long route through the Hazara Expressway or the Murree Expressway via Murree. With a view of various mountains and tall trees, this view is worth it all.

This might be the longest journey but it is going to be the most memorable one you can ever have. For this, you can drive through the Hazara Expressway which will get you to Abbottabad. From there you will get to Balakot and then towards the Kaghan Valley. Now you will have to get to the highest point of the valley, Babusar Pass. After having a great stay at Gilgit, you can continue to reach Hunza Valley. During this whole trip, you will never run out of places to explore. With enchanting blue lakes and gorgeous mountains, this is a journey one must take once in their life.

If you’re looking for a relaxing break outside of this huge city, Karachi. Then there is no option better than a road trip from Karachi to Gawadar. You need to pass Sonmiani and move into the Makran Coastal Highway. As you move on to Gwadar, you slowly get surrounded by the majestic mountains with a stunning view of the ocean. This place is a must-see if you appreciate natural beauty a little too much.
