I spent the night in Mingora one night almost exactly twenty years ago. I was a tourist so, yeah, I guess it was a “tourist destination”. The place was an absolute pit. Dirty, boring, undeveloped and full of riff-raff. Even Peshawar was way better.
Sooo, no five star hotels or restaurents there eh?
I’m going to bed soon, but your post begs the question; what made you seek that “tourist destination”, had you seen everything else in the world?
