Most of Pakistan is dangerous because there is a war there. It is important to confirm the current international situation before going to the embassy.
history
The earliest civilization originated in 3000 AD, and tribes moved from the harsh plateau to the rich Indus Plain, where life would be relatively rich. Since the separation of Pakistan, India has been controlled by Mahatma Gandhi, and Pakistan has been controlled by Pakistani politician and diplomat Muhammad 'Ali Jannah. Pakistan is the seventh largest country in Asia, with Islamabad as its capital, bordering Iran, Afghanistan, China and India, and influenced by many cultures. According to its geographical location, Pakistan can be divided into four regions: the eastern desert, the northern mountainous region, the western plateau and the southern Indian Ocean plain.
human
There are many aborigines and dialects in Pakistan. The population of Pakistan is about 6.5438+0.5 million, which is equivalent to California, and can be divided into five ethnic groups. The ethnic groups in the northern region don't believe in Islam, especially Macedonia, which is considered as a descendant of Alexander, and has been troubled for a long time because it doesn't believe in Islam. 97% of Pakistan's population believes in Muslims, most of whom are Sunnis, while in the north they are Yesh. The birth rate and death rate below 15 are very high, accounting for about 14% of the total population.
travel
It is easy to go to Pakistan. There are many international flights. From the east, there are routes between Bangkok and Singapore. If you go inland, Pakistan borders Iran, China and Afghanistan. Traveling to Pakistan requires patience and a sense of humor. The means of transportation in this country are trains, planes and buses. Air tickets are cheap, and it is of course the best if you allow them to be advanced. Trains are the cheapest means of transportation, but they are slow and dirty. Buses are fast, but relatively dangerous. Most drivers drive like flying bullets, speeding around the corner. The passengers sitting on it prayed for good luck. It's better to take a bus at night, because you can't see all this outside. If you want to go to Kashmir, you can't guarantee your life safety.
language
The language of Pakistan is Urdu. Urdu was originally a communication tool between Persians and Indians. It is similar to Hindi in pronunciation, but similar to Arabic in writing. If you can speak Hindi or write Arabic, there will be no communication difficulties. Many Pakistanis can speak English and speak it very well. In short, there will be no language communication difficulties when going to Pakistan.
Climate?
Most parts of Pakistan are dry and dusty. The climate is controlled by geographical location. In winter, the northern mountainous area will be slightly colder, with the lowest reaching 4F, while the eastern desert and southern plain are surprisingly hot, with the highest temperature reaching 95F. Summer is suitable for going to the north and winter is suitable for going to the south. Due to heavy snow and cold temperatures, the border between China and Pakistan was closed from 10 to May.
health
There are many topics about health. First of all, it is strongly recommended to vaccinate against hepatitis A and typhoid fever. Malaria is also a big health risk, especially in rainy season. Japanese encephalitis is transmitted by mosquitoes. Taking malaria pills can't stop infection, it can only relieve the symptoms of the disease. Whether short-term travelers take malaria pills is controversial. The most serious phenomenon in Pakistan is water retention caused by high temperature. Advice and bottled water are available everywhere in Pakistan. Tell a little common sense, when dehydrated, urine will turn dark yellow. In a hot environment, this is a dangerous signal, and it needs to be replenished immediately. In order to prevent accidents, you can only eat fresh fruits, vegetables, bread and nuts (rich in protein and vitamins, abundant in the market and cheap). Wash the fruit before eating it. If you go far away, bring a clean visa.
In all western countries, everyone needs a visa to go to Pakistan. The tourist visa is valid for 3 months. The cost depends on the country and in which country it is held. If you are just passing by, you can apply for a transit visa (valid for only 72 hours). As this policy will change, please check with the embassy before you go. Most passengers are single-entry visas, and you can also apply for multiple-entry visas. If you plan to stay in Pakistan for more than 30 days, you must register with the foreign registration office in your city. Islamabad is the only city that can apply for visa extension.
