But it's amazing people and food in Pakistan!!! Only what I didn't like you always should pass that checkpoints and show your passport and visa... Majority of my travels was North Pakistan like Gilgit, Chitral. Most not comfortable things was in the north because of landslides and you should wait when we clean up and you some kind of stuck and if you have airplane or bus... you are going to be waiting until you can go by the road... It was unexpected slowly 🥴

Last year I went to Chitral (the Kalash valley) to be more exact and sad to report but the government has to do a lot to promote safe solo travel for women. I attended the chilam Joshi festival and although I went with a travel group, still at times I felt a bit unsafe amongst the locals. Also, the festival has become very commercialised... I wouldn't going as a solo woman traveller but women can go with a group.

There were a lot of things to do and it was easier on the budget — I felt safe but also keep in mind I traveled with a group and also speak the local language. From hiking to shopping to eating, there were always many things to do and I had the best time

Pakistan is one of the most beautiful places I have visited. The people are incredibly polite, everyone wants to take a selfie, the food is delicious, the prices are low, and most importantly, we felt very safe there. It's a place where tourism is not fully developed yet, which is a huge plus, because everything is still so natural. Nothing is specially prepared for tourists.

Karachi
Not much if you are not accompanied by locals, locals know there way around so it’s safe with them. There are a lot of safe neighbourhoods, you just need to know and have knowledge about where you are going

Karachi is well not safe that way, especially for women. You cannot walk outdoors at any time. You need to find people you are comfortable with and feel safe around, mostly other girls/women. If you have a higher budget, hiring or being in safe spaces is easier.

In daylight u can travel to public places /crowded areas without any fear of being robbed/harassed but you’ll have to go thru some people (men )staring into your soul everywhere whether it be school/college/workplace /shopping malls And yes after the dawn you should try staying at home,its more safer like this.

It totally depends on which city or area you're in, like in karachi, lahore people get mogged, robbed or you can get harassed. I myself being a local have experienced people touching intentionally in the market or crowded places.but there are areas that are safe and secure. but if you visit northern pakistan, its very safe in every way.

To be honest Pakistan is not safe for lonely womens..otherwise its safe ..Pakistan has a growing number of women’s rights activists, safe spaces, and awareness campaigns pushing for change. Safety is improving gradually, especially in cities, but much work is needed.
