In this video:
*Wagah border crossing: See what it’s like to travel overland from India (Amritsar) into Pakistan, crossing the famous Wagah border.
*Pakistan Monument: I visit this iconic landmark - a tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for a free and independent Pakistan. By chance, I also discover the beautiful nearby park called Shakarparian (or ‘Friendship Park’).
*Hiking Trail 5: A serene hike in the Margalla Hills, enjoying stunning views of the city and a spontaneous hitchhiking adventure back to town.
*Vegetarian in Pakistan: Find out if it’s possible to be a vegetarian in Pakistan.
*Faisal Mosque: Finally, I get to explore the stunning contemporary design of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.
Islamabad really is the perfect example of how there's so much more to Pakistan than meets the eye. It’s a city that keeps surprising me, and I hope by watching this video, it will surprise you too!

If you guys have any recommendations of places in Pakistan I should visit over the next few weeks, please let me know in the comments down below! (especially hiking/adventure/outdoor stuff is appreciated 😉)
There is a mountain named Tirich Mir in KPK province. Its a 7000m plus mountain. Not many people have been there. You should try to go to its base camp if possible and feasible!! There is not much content about it on Internet or YT.
Do a full hitchhike tour of North Pakistan ❤ It will be watchable stuff.
Swat (the switizerland of pakistan). Especially Chukail Banda, Swat. But I doubt the security there.
@@gulqureshi5681 Oooh I remember seeing this mountain from our hotel in Chitral, yes! Gonna look into it, thanks 👌
Last year one USA national visit with me north Pakistan
Wow Pakistan Very beautiful Subhanallah We was part of this Country but unfortunately indian propaganda war separated us 2 brother we still love our brother Pakistan 🇧🇩♥️🇵🇰
Our hearts are still close bro
One ummah ❤❤
We are still brothers
So again fucked and culturely crushed by Pakistani soldiers
@@MuhammadUsman-il8ek yes ♥️
My favorite country so far 🇵🇰. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Mine too 😬🫶
Islamabad is absolutely one of most green, peaceful and very well organised capitals of the World. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you so much 😊

Most well come sis
MashaAllah Pakistan is a very beautiful country Love from Bangladesh
The way you edit the videos is super satisfying, keep up the great work!!
Ahh thank you, I really appreciate it ☺
For those who did'nt understand the how islamabad monument represent unity. The big four petals are actually representing the 4 major proviences of Pakistan Punjab, KPK, Baluchistan and sindh. And three small petal represent the three territories which are Kashmir, gilgit and FATA (Tribal Areas) Now the fata is part of KPK.
When she said "we are back"...I got emotional...thanks for this much love
1:53 A sigh of relief after entering Pakistan says it all:
That was pleasing!
As a Pakistani American I visited Islamabad for the first time in 2022. Went back in 2023 and going again in 2024. Hanging out in F7 markaz is probably my favorite thing. Unending list of restaurants and shopping all in one place. Extremely affordable, great people, great weather in November and December. Islamabad, you take my breath away.
Pakistan is the most diverse, hospitable and beautiful country in the world.
👍
I am Pakistani 🇵🇰 I hope new journey is best in Pakistan welcome to Pakistan❤❤❤ Pakistani people so nice and lovely
wellcome back...happy to see you that you are presenting the actual image,the positive image of my country
I just got job in isamabad and i don't know why isamabad is so addictive place i didn't want to go to my home Town in Pakistan (swabi) even i spent more than three months.
People are friendly and atmospheric are adorable. I love to so something for my people. Full support to my beautiful and friendly pakistani people. Love All of you from swabi.
Why do Pakistani women dress so badly when they go out? In the store, in the subway, in the bus, when I see them, they always wear long jeans with high heels, what is the reason? I live in California and I have traveled to many developed countries. One of the only points that caught my attention was that Pakistani and East Asian women in general do not like to wear socks and mostly wear open shoes, i.e. sandals. , slippers and... on the contrary, American women who mostly wear socks and shoes and are not interested in showing their legs to men, Asian women wear sandals even in the cold seasons of the year!!! What is the reason?😂😂😂😂
Love you too 😘💕
@@nikaawan9555 thank you my friend. Love from my side too
I'm looking for job as well is there any opportunities?
Greetings from Pakistan. Welcome back to your second home. We would be privileged to witness brilliant vlogs with beautifully crafted sentences and use of wonderful words apart from great scenery. The same I witnessed in this vlog. Brilliantly done. Please explore various places on the left right of the road leading to Kaghan and Naran valleys. Check "Dana meadows" for which you will have to turn left from a place called "Khannian". If you move to the right from the place called "Kiwai", then you will reach a place called "Shogran". Then if you continue moving up, a jeepable track will take you to "Siri" and "Paya" and further up should be a hike to the "Makkra Hills". "Kiwai" will come before "Khannian". Then in "Naran" the famous lake "Saif-ul-Malook" is a beautiful one although we have made the surroundings dirty. Then just a few Kilometers outside "Naran" is a place called "Lalazaar". It's a turn right while coming from "Naraan" and a jeepable track. Then there are two more lakes "Lake Lulusar" and "Lake Dudusar", one of them will require hiking and some time to reach there. There are a lot of more stuff to search and explore along the way but please take care of yourselves and seek guidance from the dependable locals along the way about the present day conditions. Then you might consider exploring the Pakistani part of "Kashmir". You can go from Islamabad to "Muzaffarabad", the Capital of "Pakistani Kashmir" known as "Azad Kashmir". And then go to the various valleys like "Neelum valley" etc. Alternatively, there are roads leading to "Azad Kashmir" while traveling on the road to "Kaghan" / "Naraan" valleys from Islamabad. There are so many other areas that can be recommended that can be worth exploring. Why not try a tough trekking journey that takes you to the base-camp of K-2 mountain, the second highest mountain in the world. Anyway, the message getting too long. I might give more recommendations in future comments. You , however missed some spots in Islamabad as well. Eagerly awaiting further vlogs. Best wishes for the channel. With warm regards
Thank you so much for all these great recommendations! 🙏 I’ll try my best to visit at least some of them, and definitely stay tuned for K2 😉
@@floragonning Thank you for the response. May you have the best ever and safest time in Pakistan. Regards
LOVE RESPECT FROM LAHORE-0AK♥️🇵🇰♥️
Welcome back to Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🤍🤍🤍🤍🇵🇰🤍🇵🇰🇵🇰
I'm actually from the UK but my home from home is always Lahore. I love it's heritage and hustle and bustle. And we do have some really great parks for brisk walking and running here in ,Lahore too...

Beautiful video again!! You have the ability to portray it so beautifully and serenely that it seems attractive to visit Pakistan. 😘
oh myyyyyy!

I was anxiously waiting...
Welcome to Pakistan again!
uffffff Islamabad 🥵 bro as a lahori Islamabad is my dream city to live and today it is proved by you that why it should be a dream city 😍 Ranked as world's second most beautiful capital for a reason🥵💗
Nah man the vibes of old Lahore are just unmatched
@@Zecos no doubt lahore has it's own identity and taste but the people who love peace and love nature they would must prefer Islamabad on Lahore and the people who love chaotic ness and want some vibrant Colors and cultural they would must prefer lahore.
@@musmanjaved9009 true. Literally I went to Islamabad and everything there closed at around 9-10 pm. I was like wtf 😭😭 itna jldi so jate sare
@@Zecos yes it is a quiet city and I love it 😍 and we can't compare it with Lahore in this category ❗

WELLCOME BACK
When Islamabad was being developed with the export revenue received from the East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), the Bangali leader Sheikh Mujib while visiting the capital was surprised with the luxury being built there. Jute was the largest export of Pakistan and it used to grow only in the East Pakistan, but they received nothing in return.
His famous quote was:
"I can get the smell of my jute coming from the streets of Islamabad"
So welcome Flora! Enjoy the city Bangladesh built for them! 🇧🇩
