"My Experience With XperiencePakistan"

My Experience With XperiencePakistan

Firstly, I can’t thank Saadia and her team enough for the amazing experience of Pakistan that they showed me. They helped me at various stages of my trip, everything from: the itinerary, the visa application and ensuring all my needs were looked after whilst in Pakistan. Including checking up that the trip was going as I desired it. So a very very special thank you to the team at Xperience Pakistan for giving me an experience of a lifetime.

Visiting Holy places in Pakistan

It was like a dream, walking the places that Guru Nankana walked, played and lived. One of the major reasons I was so glad to have gone with Xperience Pakistan, was I wasn’t rushed and I could set the pace that I wanted too. And they were very open to letting me change my mind, even while the trip was taking place. The Gurdwara and the samadi of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh in Lahore, broke my heart. I know how money is spent in the UK on Gurdwara’s and it’s a crying shame, that we (Sikhs) don’t spend a little bit of that on our history in Pakistan. Nankana Sahib, Kartarpur and Panja Sahib were the highlights of my trip. Seeing the Pakistani side of Punjab just puts a smile on my face, when I think about it. It is so similar that it’s unbelievable.

Pakistani People

As a British Indian Sikh, I didn’t know how I would be welcomed in Pakistan, especially with the actions the Indian Government is currently taking. I was worried that not only would I not be welcomed but violence, kidnapping etc, might happen. Before going Xperience Pakistan did try and ressaure me that all would be okay but I was still apprehensive. The Pakistani people I had the pleasure of meeting in Lahore, Nankana Sahib, Kartarpur, Islamabad and Peshawar – couldn’t be nicer to me. On two different occasions, my heart really went out, the beauty in the hearts of Pakistani people because they went above and beyond what I would expect from your average interaction with people. The weird thing was how happy they were to see a Sardar, not a tourist from the UK. Fellow Sikhs from India received an equally happy experience from the people in Pakistan.

Hotels

The Hotel I stayed in was brilliant, the quality equal to any decent hotels in the UK or any European country. The only hotel slightly below par was the one in a village (Narowal) near Kartarpur. And even that was better than most three star European Hotels. I would strongly recommend booking the trip as soon as possible. So that the team at Xperience Pakistan can book the best Hotels. My trip was a bit last minute so they couldn’t book the best Hotels in Kartarpur and Nankana Sahib. Xperience Pakistan pride themselves on quality over quantity and in my experience that was definitely evident.

Haris (My Guide)

Haris was my guide during the trip, I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. He not only showed me things I wanted to see like the Gurdwara’s but also modified the trip so I could see things that I desired to see, mainly the historical aspects of Pakistan. I even got to meet his friends and got to experience the real Pakistan. Thinking of them, as I write this, is putting a big smile on my face. Haris in Urdu has a meaning of a Guardian, a protector. If any name suits someone that name suits Haris. I really enjoyed his company, and our serious discussions of Pakistan to lighted hearted conversations on movies and songs we like. I even watched Legends of the Fall, as I was flying back to the UK, because of his recommendation – btw, loved the movie.

Culture and History

I would encourage everyone who visits Pakistan to experience its cultural and history, after all, big chunks of it, is shared history and culture. One of the mind blowing visits was Buddhist temples. The Tomb of Jahangir is an amazing complex of buildings. I would high recommend anyone visiting Lahore pay a visit. I simply fell in love with Lahore and Peshawar, both very old cities with tons and tons of history.

My big tip is that seek the advise of the team at Xperience Pakistan, they know what they are talking about and their advise to see less but enjoy the experiences should be taken, there is lots to see in Pakistan but trying to squeeze in too much will ruin the experience. The best thing about going with Xperence Pakistan is the small sizes they work with, in my case I was alone but as a business they want to ensure that everyone gets to see what they are interested in, which is why they won’t go beyond a group size of 12-15, so that all their clients can leave Pakistan knowing they’ve got what they wanted out of the holiday. With Xperience Pakistan, you never feel like a number or a transaction their regular communication makes you feel safe and a valued guest.

"The absolute best in Pakistan travel!"

Saadia and her team at Xperience Pakistan have been a revelation. As a second generation (BBCD) Pakistani who loved going back when younger, booking a holiday now with family in tow was a bit daunting. They helped me with hotel and car hire, both of which were fantastic and very reasonable. Happy to recommend them and will use them again!
