Editorâs Note W
elcome to the Summer edition of Fascinating Pakistan! In this content packed edition, we bring to you an endless array of soul replenishing, mind rejuvenating destinations and experiences available in Pakistan.
We take you through the calm golden sand dunes of Nushki desert, we follow the roads taken by Britta Sculze a solo female travel enthusiast from Germany, wandering through the long-winded swathes of Pakistan on her bike. We infiltrate the bustle of Qissa Khwani Bazaar of Peshawar from the eyes and experience of Ivan and Hussain Agahi market of Multan, peeling off layers of history to unravel the past glory. Strolling between the sites and stupas of Swat drenched in antiquity to marvelling awe struck while we saunter along the corridors of Quaid-e-Azam House. We take you by hand as we soar and glide in the Northern winds of Pakistan on sky diving experience, the mind-numbing adrenaline rush with insane views, filling hearts with a unique calm and spiritual serenity. We take you through the Indus River where Dolphins - marvellous mammals: protectors of sailors with their healing echoic ringing through your veins releasing endorphins, to the sites of ancient Buddhist meditation searching for peace within. Ever wonder how it feels when you whirl like a Sufi dervish on the earnest melodies of qawwali near the entrance to one of hundreds of shrines that dot the city? Multan-the Sufi City of Pakistan. Do enjoy this issue, and whether abstract or tangible, let us all pledge to find the meaning of this journey called life. Fascinating Pakistan takes pride in the work we as a team have been delivering. Today Fascinating Pakistan is the âOfficial Partnerâ to PTDC. My special thanks to Mr. Aftab Rana for providing his visionary leadership and the progressive work being done in uplifting the tourism sector. We wish Pakistanis all over the world a very Happy Independence Day! Have a wonderful summer!
