CHITRAL.

Chitral: the Greece in Pakistan!
Beauty and historical appeal doesn’t end anywhere at Peshawar. Move more north and you will reach Chitral. Don’t mistake it for Greece as the culture here is a lot like what the Greek invaders brought with them centuries ago.
Chitral is known for its juniper and fir forests on the slopes of snow-capped mountains as well as the wonderful civilization that has grown over here. The greenery and the historic effect will collaborate, and you’ll feel as if you are living in medieval times!kumraat valley 1.jpg
The tastes of Chitral are also no less. Much the same as Peshawar, the majority of the food served here involves meat preferably lamb. Rest is for you to explore! Go and see what you can enjoy!for my steem post.jpg
Qissa Khwani Bazar.
You think you have visited Pakistan enough? There is a lot more you have no hint about!
Qissa Khwani Bazar- Culture enriched delicacy unleashed!
You might have heard a lot about the tastes of Lahore and the spicy dishes that are associated to that area. What you don’t know is that they have another rival further up north too!
Yes, the historical Qissa Khwani Bazar that actually was a place where people used to gather for story telling and sharing their experiences. Considering the in flow of people to that place, soon it developed in to a wonderful place to shop, eat and even stroll!qisaa khwani bazar.jpg

As soon as you enter the famous place, the first sense you will feel is the smell of meat pieces being roasted after being marinated in salt. You move on to shop and you will see vendors and shopkeepers offering the best of the items in the least of the prices in the country. I repeat in the country! You can save the money when you shop here and can eat a roasted lamb to add more flavor to it.
