I can only deduce London is the most beautiful capital in the world since roughly a third of Pakistan has already moved there.
What an idiotic comment, nobody moves for just beauty. What type of conclusion is that they move for opportunities, less poverty, stable economy, etc.

I'm not sure what that statement has to do with, "You do realize that non-Hindus are looked down upon in Hindu India. Sikhs are demanding for a country called Khalistan."

But here's the bottom line: most of the posters here aren't buying your premise.

My point is that as India is an ally with the US, a majority of the southern US (and I know) is Anti Pakistan, because they are Muslims, and then they name all issues such as garbage, pollution, poverty, corruption, all which are and some to a greater extent prevalent in India where they travel with no issues.

Clearly the issue here is prejudice.

Yeah, nothing but pure prejudice here.

Do you research or just pick and chose things? its not like someone just said something against the prophet or allah

She went on loud speakers and said blasphemous things on multiple occasions after they kept on forgiving her.

Less than 100 people have been charged and died from blasphemy in the last 50 years

Pakistan is not Afghanistan, India, Iran or Saudi Arabia. There seems to be a confusion to somehow confuse Pakistan as one of those countries. PAKISTAN is PAKISTAN.

As seen from the responses on this thread alone -- PAKISTAN is indeed undervalued. I thank each and every poster on here for confirming that Pakistan is surely Asia's most underrated country.

Long Live PAKISTAN.

But could this country be considered “underrated” for reasons like supporting the Taliban? Not to mention hiding Bin Laden?

But if you are trying to imply that the people in Pakistan are friendly, I can buy that to a certain extent. I did meet a lot of people in the country and had mostly pleasant conversations.

Lastly, women traveling alone and LGBT people shouldn’t visit Pakistan. If I had a gay family member, or a female family member who was intent on touring Pakistan alone, I’d do my best to talk them out of it. However, if you are male and are interested in an adventure tour type of vacation, I’d sign off on going to Pakistan.

Sorry if this post offends anyone, but the truth is the truth.
Don't know what the LGBTQ part has to do with anything. Do members of that community walk around with a shirt saying "I am Gay?" If yes, due to the culture clash, I also would not recommend it.

However, as someone who knows many members of the LGBTQ community (AKA 99.9% of them) who do not mention it and walk around with it on their shirts, nobody in Pakistan would know or care as to what you identify as.

For the woman part, I also know many woman who have toured Pakistan alone and people actually offered her to sleep with them in their home, offered tea, dinner, and just overall great hospitality. All throughout Pakistan. Better to have someone with you obviously, you can say the same about literally any other undeveloped country as you never know what someone in poverty will do, but if you have no other choice but to be alone, I would say go for it, with caution of course.

You're right. You are prejudice in favor of Pakistan.

I have no problem with Pakistan continuing as a nation. My adopted Pakistani son lives there. I still don't want to travel there.

You do realize that PAKISTAN is better than India is almost every way yet you turn a blind eye, as you just admitted. Just look at the COVID situation for starters.

Something is psychologically seriously wrong with you, as you just admitted your son lives in Pakistan yet refuse to visit, even though PAK has the 3rd most English speakers in the whole world. https://cudoo.com/blog/which-countri...lish-speakers/

Pakistan was also named as #1 tourist destination by leading travel magazine. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/interna...ation-for-2020

Pakistan has more peaks taller than 22,965ft, making it an almost magnetic spot for adventure travellers and hikers.
