About the Book:
Pakistan is South Asia’s best-kept secret. Ushering the mighty Indus River from the snow-clad peaks of the Karakorams to the warm waters of the Arabian Sea, Pakistan is home to a civilization as old as ancient Egypt – yet a key player in daily headlines. It is an Islamic republic guided by a resurgent faith, but whose heart still stirs at the wail of bagpipes. Here the traveller finds a variety of landscapes, of peoples, of architecture and of bazaar bargains worthy of a country twice its size. Few Westerners know Pakistan as does Isobel Shaw. In her exhaustive explorations while researching this guide, she logged thousands of kilometres and secured the cooperation of hundreds of Pakistanis. Packed with vital information, surprising insights and carefully selected photographs, this is the book to read before you go to Pakistan, to refer to while you are there and to bring back home as a storehouse for memories.
