Hey Guys! 

I'm back with another very interesting post for today and also probably my mot favorite ones to write as well, *A GLIMPSE OF PAKISTAN TOUR*.

# **THE LAND OF PURE**

**PAKISTAN** has made its name in one of the most VISITED country in the recent years and I don't wonder why. This place is full of locations that will take away your breath and urge you to come back. The beauty of this place set aside, the hospitality of people here is what makes Pakistan the most beautiful of countries.

I urge you to add Pakistan to your bucket list of the place you want to visit and I promise, you won't be disappointed.
 
# **HIGHTLIGHT OF 2020** 

Right before Covid hit us in 2020 (which feels like forever now), me and my university friends decided to plan a Pakistan tour. And you know how long awaited this trip is, for all friends. Coming from family where I had never ever gotten permission for a night stay even at my best friend's home, it was not easy for me to get my parents to agree with me. But you know, *All is well that ends well*.

*The train journey*

# **ONE DAY AT A TIME**

It was a 10-day trip and never in my wildest dreams had I imagined this trip would be the highlight of entire 2020. We left for the tour on **20th Feb 2020** and what was waiting for us in the mountains was TRULY MESMERIZING.

Here, I will take you through one of the many amazing adventures for our trip. So hold back, and ENJOY!

# **FROM BAHRAIN TO USHU GLACIER**

It was the 3rd  day and we were staying in *BAHRAIN, SWAT*, easily one of the most beautiful places I' had ever seen in my life. The hotel we stayed in was *Bahrain Continental*, we had an amazing, large room to ourselves on 4 people basis sharing. No matter how many layers of clothes we wore, it was still never enough to fight the weather.

For anyone wanting to visit this BEAUTFIUL place, herre is a link
