My friend is going to Pakistan for 3 weeks and I was thinking to join.
Anyone been there?
And is it safe to travel around with passport stamped in Pakistan?
I don’t want people to think I’m trying to join some illegal movement, in short I don’t even want to get in a situation where I need to explain myself.
Even I met few people from Pakistan while traveling, kind of feels like it’s not really most desired Country.
Depending on where you travel too after going to PK, you might have to explain yourself. As a Canadian, if I were to come back through US, they would ask me a lot of questions.
I know you’re from Croatia though, and not sure if they would care (if you’re even going back there after PK). I’ve found Euro customs is quite lite in terms of asking where you’ve been, etc. But that’s just personal experience
There are risks. Pakistan has active radical groups, Taliban and others, and both the Pakistani army & US-led forces are using live ammo extensively as well. Lahore is some distance from the really crazy areas, but almost certainly not completely safe.
I was in Lahore back in the 1970s & thought it a very fine place.
A nearby place that is almost certainly worth a visit:

Based on Karachi's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
Oh Vadodara (Or Baroda if you have an old map)... I was there September 8-14, 2019. A friendly and beautiful city, but it helps to have a guide. I did a hotel stay as the prices were a tiny percentage of the same accomodation in Mumbai. Internet was good. Tunnel worked here (but that may just have been my access point). There are internet cafes (Cafe Coffee is one)... but there is also Starbucks. Prices at restaurants are lower than other spots I visited in India. I did not do the street food

Prepaid taxi from the airport is my usual recommendation, and if I was traveling tomorrow that is what I would do. Inside of Mumbai, UBER was my go-to app and worked well. Autos (aka 'Tuk-tuks' in some places) get around well and are cheap, some are also on Uber. Be aware that unless you use a service like UBER, as a foreigner, th

Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.

If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk from the BTS, then you can easily get a one bedroom apartment for 300 USD per month, in a high class condo, plus with free golf cart ser

Apartments and accommodation are ridiculously expensive. 300 to 500 a month for tiny rooms in a shared house. For single guys go elsewhere. Women here are rude, ultra conservative and have flat personalities with nothing going for them. Food is okay but plenty of MSG and food safety is atrocious. In addition motorists are aggressive and plenty of accidents take place. Don't live here i

Almost impossible to find month-to-month rent, so this is for 1-year lease. Coffee for two + a pastry is easily $20.
