Is Pakistan safe for tourism for foreign
The terrorism threat in Pakistan has been greatly reduced in
recent years – most regions are now safe to visit, but a few are still best
avoided. Nomad Will explains the current security situation in one of his
favorite countries. Pakistan has had a
tumultuous past. Taliban activity peaked between the late 2000s to early 2010s
and for many years, the country as a whole was seriously unsafe to visit. But
thanks to the hard work and vigilance of the country’s intelligence agency and
military, Pakistan has largely turned its situation around and most areas are
now safe for travelers to visit.
This is a country with so
much to offer: welcoming people, fascinating culture, ancient history, and some
of the most stunning and unspoiled mountains in the world, Pakistan is one of
the last true adventure travel frontiers and every year more foreigners
go backpacking
here. While most Western
nations still advise against travel to all or parts of the country, Pakistan’s
tourism industry is growing steadily as it rebuilds its once-thriving adventure
travel scene. Always check with your government's travel advisory body to stay
up to date with changes that could affect your travel insurance cover.
