There, I will leave Pakistan with regret after almost two months. Some strong moments, others, more tranquil, and a few really boring moments.
I did not make any publication concerning my stay except for a few photos. But for those interested, a first article was published in Road Trip No. 53 concerning my crossing of Balochistan and a second should be published in Road Trip No. 54 concerning my stay with Prince Malik. But to know more about it, you’ll have to wait until June (yes, the written press has its own tempo, far from the Internet\u2026 but I think the pleasure of reading an article in a magazine remains something different.)
I would have liked to write an article about northern Pakistan, a mountainous landscape, which is probably the most beautiful region of Pakistan\u2026 but until now the temperatures were too cold and now that the weather would allow me to go there\u2026 I have to leave the country without a visa. I will come back to this last point a little later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I loved about Pakistan: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What surprised me :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The dynamism and modernity of some entrepreneurs. I have the opportunity to visit the offices of a tourism agency (130 people) and a farm (about 100 dairy cows). In both cases, a professionalism and a modernity that I did not expect to find here. Like what\u2026 never have any preconceived ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I didn’t like so much: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What I hated: <\/strong>The administrative hassles! So there, clearly of all the countries I have been through since the beginning of this trip, except Turkmenistan perhaps, Pakistan is REALLY the bad student in the class. Some explanations are required: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Travelling as a woman in Pakistan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ladies, can you travel as a single woman to Pakistan? Without hesitation, the answer is YES. You will be extremely welcome there even if sometimes some will be a little too insistent according to some testimonies of single women that I was able to collect. I met 4 young women about 20\/30 years old, pretty and travelling alone in Pakistan (an American, a French woman, a Canadian woman, and a Chinese woman). For more information, I invite you to consult the pages of one of them, Alex<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
o This only applies to people arriving by plane (so as a frequent traveller by road I am excluded)
o This requires arriving in Pakistan by air (impossible for example to arrive in India – where air tickets are significantly cheaper) and to travel to Pakistan on a leisure trip involving both countries for example.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
