Pakistan Traveller

Jagged Himalayan and Karakoram peaks, moonlit camps next to desert fortresses, sizzling kebabs served on ancient city streets, passionate displays of faith and devotion, and the warmest hospitality you’ll ever experience… all washed down with countless cups of chai.

Traveling to Pakistan is guaranteed to be the trip of a lifetime, but it’s not without its challenges. We don’t just tell you what to see and do, we make sure you’re well equipped for all the bumps in the road. Written by travellers for travellers, this independent guide is full of all the honest information you’ll need on the road.

Co-authored with Alexandra Reynolds of Lost with Purpose, Pakistan Traveller covers more of Pakistan than any other guidebook out there to date. We’ll take you to places—including ones other guidebooks don’t cover—with 147 entries for cities, towns, villages, and bends in the road, plus more on national parks, attractions, and out-of-the-way places in 12 different regions across Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

About The Book

Pakistan has been in the headlines a lot in recent times and unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. This has had the effect of deterring many would-be travellers to this beautiful, fascinating and rewarding destination. 

Pakistan Traveller provides practical and relevant information relating to my favourite place in the world. It is my hope that the information will be of use to the steady stream of travellers to Pakistan, and will hopefully encourage more tourists to visit this remarkably hospitable but grossly misrepresented nation.

Probably the best and most detailed guide to Pakistan out there. The book does not just give you tips on how to plan your Pakistan sojourn, it also offers the reader a deeper insight into the many cultural nuances and complexities within Pakistani society.

Bilal Hassan, Social Commentator

"Pakistan Traveller is without a doubt the best guide to Pakistan out there right now. Adorned with gorgeous photos by Alex Reynolds, and filled with off-beat gems that will stun even the veteran traveller, a guidebook on this scale and depth is long overdue... We finally have the reliable and insightful guide we have been waiting for."

William Dalrymple, Author

This book is great! Finally, a tangible travel guide to Pakistan that’s been written by genuine experts who really know their sh*t… If you’re going to Pakistan, do yourself a favour and pick up a copy.

About the author

I’m originally from Australia but over the years I’ve lived and worked in Iran and India. Nowadays Lahore, Pakistan is home and I simply love it here. I’m often torn between going out to see the world and staying in Lahore to live it up with my friends and fellow travellers.

I love coffee, writing and doing photography in my favourite cities around the world.

I’ve written two books – Pakistan Traveller, now in its second edition; the world’s best travel guide to my adopted home. I’ve also compiled a cookbook of recipes I have gathered while travelling; Recipes for Ramadan. I also write for fellow bloggers, newspapers, journals, magazines and anywhere else I am invited. In 2015 I contributed to Melbourne’s Creative Urbanism, an ebook by eTramping’s Agness Walewinder about art, culture and development in Australia’s second city.
