Stay Safe

Summerness in Kalam Valley - nail

Northwest Pakistan is an exceptionally dangerous area. The local residents have a long history of tribal warfare and banditry, both of which still go on, and they have been fighting off various invaders since Alexander the Great. The main fighting today is the Taliban versus the (Pakistani) military, but there are other dangers as well: al-Qaeda, various tribal forces, and US drones.

Terror attacks and political assassinations are a common occurrence in the region. Between 2007 and 2012 and there were a recorded 186 suicide attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, more than the total number of suicide attacks in all other areas of Pakistan. Before going to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Swat, and Peshawar, check for travel advisories from your government.

The towns bordering tribal areas are not considered particularly safe, and nor are the Afghan-Pakistan border regions, as the Pakistan government has little to no authority in these areas and cannot aid you in an emergency. You should always seek information about off-limits areas before travelling to this region. Prior permission from the (Pakistani) government is required before non-Pakistanis can travel to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa given the poor security situation in the region. Such permission, known as a No Objection Certificate (NOC), must be obtained from the (Pakistani) Foreign Ministry. Attempting to enter Khyber Pakhtunkhwa without an NOC could result in arrest.
