Editor
Jan 24, 2015

Though the land of the pure always manages to come in the global media limelight for all the wrong reasons, one of the main attractions in our country which remains neglected and perhaps forgotten, limited to a privileged few who can afford to undertake expensive travel, is the natural beauty that is present throughout the country.

From deserts, seashore, high altitude plains, highest mountain ranges of the world and waterfalls, Pakistan has it all to become the premium tourist destination of the world. Here are ranked the top tourist destinations of Pakistan.

1. Concordia
