Is this the last true adventure frontier?

Some people think Pakistan is a failed state... A country patchworked with violence, hopeless chaos, and camels with attitude problems. Does that ring true to you, Reader? In fact, Pakistan is one of the most amazing and welcoming countries in the world... It's somewhere we are passionate about and so we've put together this list of reasons to take a chance on this far-flung land...
1. Pakistan is one of the last true adventure frontiers. A place where time stands still, and endless mountains march into the sunset. 2. Locals will feed you, guide you, bless you… and probably try to marry you off. 3. The Karakoram mountains are simply stunning. And as if that wasn't enough, it’s also home to the highest paved road in the world, the Karakoram Highway. A true marvel of the engineering world and a delight to any motorcycle freak! After over a decade of travelling to Pakistan and running tours there, I’ve pulled everything together into a post I’m genuinely proud of. You’ll see why this country is the reason Elsewheria exists in the first place. And why we want to invite you along on our next adventure!
PS - spots for my 2026 trips are filling up, check availability here. Catch you on the Karakoram.​ |

Travelling is usually about finding your sweet spot. And our sweet spot here at The Broke Backpacker sits somewhere between all the travel wisdom we've collected over the years, the wild stories, and our brutally honest takes. Not everyone likes those, but... ultimately, we're all about sharing the truth of what we find; the good, the bad, the hilarious, the ugly. The Broke Backpacker exists to break the boundaries of what is usually expected from a travel writer. And that's why you're here...
