Holidays in Balakot

Awake in the wee small hours? Can't get back to sleep? Could be that adventurous spirit of yours! So what are you waiting for? Get up, dust off your passport and book a holiday to Balakot!

The nation's capital city, Islamabad, lies roughly 100 kilometres to the south of Balakot.

There's no need to go too far afield to uncover some pleasant natural sights. Pack up the car and head in the direction of Machiara National Park, 25 kilometres away from Balakot, for a chilled-out day. Or maybe Shimla Peak is more to your taste? You'll find it 45 kilometres away.

If you can't imagine a holiday without some live sports action, see what events are on at Nelum Stadium. It's likely something will be happening while you visit. You can find the venue 25 kilometres away in Muzaffarabad.

You'll find even more just around the corner. Muzaffarabad, 25 kilometres to the southeast, is known for Black Fort and Red Fort. Alternatively, if Neelam Bazaar and Kashmir Bazaar sound better to you, go 30 kilometres southwest from Balakot to Mansehra.

You may have the urge to book a room in Abbottabad for a while. This place is 45 kilometres away and not too far from the Ilyasi Mosque, Raees Khana Bazar and St Luke's Church. Some other nearby attractions are Gurdwara and Bazaar.

Getting outdoors and exploring the surrounding landscape doesn't get much better when you can pick from activities like rock climbing and mountain climbing.

Explore the region's art museums, history museums, art galleries and craft workshops. They are especially good places to seek refuge in when the weather takes a turn.

Would you like to spend the day outdoors? Consider an adventure to one of the surrounding area's open-air markets.

Improve your understanding of the region by making your way to several of the close-by ruins, traditional villages, old towns, fortresses and archeological sites. Do your own research into their historical significance or get some information from the most well-informed tour guide in town.

Get to know the area in a more spiritual way by organising a visit to its mosques. Take some time out for some quiet contemplation or simply observe the locals in prayer.

Your eyes shouldn't have all the fun while you're in Pakistan. Give your taste buds a little TLC too by trying some of the local food and drink. After all, you can't say you've really experienced a place until you've tasted its flavours.

Curious about some of the surprises you'll discover on your plate? There's a good chance they'll include lentils, pulses or even both.

When Balakot residents talk about their food, you could hear naan (flour dough) or korma (meat) mentioned a few times. These classic meals form part of the region's identity and should be on any foodie's must-eat list.

'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and we don't think that's a coincidence. There's no tastier way to let your worries melt away than with gulab jamun (deep-fried dough in sugar syrup), a sweet treat often found on dinner tables here.

Food, art and music — national celebrations show us the best of what a country has to offer. Don't forget to join hands with the locals on Republic Day on the 23rd of March.

When your holiday has come to an end and it's time to say goodbye, don't leave your last few Pakistani rupees clanging around in your purse. Why not buy some souvenirs as a reminder of this stunning region?

Ready to take to the skies? Plan a route, pack up your bags and set an alarm. The closest airport, Benazir Bhutto International Airport (ISB), is some 110 kilometres to the south.
