As Salamu Allaykim bhai! I just returned from a family visit to Lahore. Your videos helped me plan my visit and a trip to Islamabad while I was there. The bus services are excellent, we used the Daewoo line, the service was as good as any airline. I used an online booking service to select a guest house for my visit. Be aware of the neighborhoods you select, most listings tell you what neighborhood they are in, I was interested in being near Jinnah Market/F7 and finding what I wanted was very easy. When visiting tourists sites expect to see two rates, one for locals, one for tourists. This didn’t bother me, I felt it was a good way to give a little extra support to the businesses. While I have family here, I do not speak Urdu. Not a problem, most people speak very good English are are keen to use it. Everyone is very friendly and they are also keen to talk with you and learn about where you come from. And now for the warning: Lahore is very loud. While things look chaotic on the surface, there is an order to the chaos. Crossing streets are challenging because pedestrians don’t have the right of way. Take a moment and study the rhythm of the traffic, soon you will be able to plot out a safe course to take. You may be tempted to run, DON’T… if you trip and fall, you run the risk of becoming kima(ground meat) take your time. Thanks again bhai, I hope you are reunited with you lovely wife soon, In Sha Allah. Khuda Hafiz.

Common people are of course very nice on both sides. But historically (you can google for yourself) Pakistan has been an unfriendly neighbor.. From waging wars (again google for yourself) to Kashmir militancy, etc So it's pretty natural, that India is very cautious now of Pakistan. Every time there was scope for Peace, Pakistan's army would meddle and stop all this.. From Kargil war to Delhi attacks of 2001 all happened when there was peace talks happening.

Be wary of basing your perceptions about a whole race or culture on the hearsay of one individual, as I've heard of no such thing and I'm relatively familiar with the culture and religion. It's entirely cultural (no rhyme or reason, just how different cultures develop). Why it's ok to stare or gather around you, I can't honestly say, but I suspect it's to do with a more communal and family orientated society, in these countries. Whilst in the west, liberalism its predicated on individualism (individual rights take president over societal rights) , that's why when you sit next to someone on a bus or train here in the UK, it's the most awkward and upright thing ever. In addition, as a foreigner you'll naturally attract more attention because of curiosity and the fact that it may be rare seeing someone of a different race (in the west where used to seeing a multitude of different races and become accustom to it). Now I'm no social scientist so i maybe wrong, but I can assure you (even as what others would define as a conservative Muslim) respecting personal space has nothing to do with the devil and in term of travelling, that's purely to do with safety on numbers.

I am a solo female who visited Sri Lanka for 3 weeks and had a vastly pleasant experience. I know not exactly the same but as someone from Europe it isn't the 'female travellers' utopia either so it would be a shame to avoid South Asia for fear of being alone there.

Other than that it is very difficult for an Indian person to get a visa to Pakistan even if some Pakistani is ready to sponser them. Believe me that is how things are on the ground

Well, your skepticism and apprehension are right, because this is what media has shown us. But I would suggest you to watch other vlogger's videos. Like, solo female travellers to vlogger who travelled with their families (and kids). See what they have to say and take their suggestions and make your mind. Solo female traveller: Rosie gabrielle Eva Zu Beck Travellight Ellie Quinn Wandering Emma Vloggers with family: Mark Weins Where the Jones Luke Martin Monica and Peter To name a few. I would say, just give it a go, travel to Pakistan and you'll like it. I'm from Pakistan and would certainly like to host you guys and help you with things, if you like.

the more stuff i watch about it, and the more people from pakistan i get to know, to more i want to visit it. but i made the plan to first get a longterm india visa (5 years) before doing that. because i am scared of all the questions and trouble in the indian visa application regarding pakistan. i also feel bad for the paksitani people, many friends from there told me they dont have any place to visit, because all their neighbouring countrys ether dont let them in, or are countrys you shouldnt visit. i am excited to go there soon anyways, and happy youre sharing so many videos (especially with your knowledge and language skills) keep posting! we suck in the videos like a sponge! greetings from meghalaya !!

Really nice busses. Not quite the same ac/non AC and sleeper busses of India. It seems not quite as busy as India on the roads or bus stations. Good there are not the colourful pashmina salesmen or rickshaw drivers with handycraft stores. It's interesting that in India the scammers go for Indian tourists as well as foreigners Are there much less Pakistan tourists, or is tourism a big thing. Glad your plans to return are under way.

@@khursheedyasin4695 Just different. India has a greater range from very rustic inexpensive slow moving busses to sleeper busses to express intercity busses. These look closer to European or asian busses lacking the colorful paint jobs typical on Indian express busses. They also look newer. I assume Pakistan imports it's busses while in India busses are mostly built in India and a little different to suit local needs and roads.
