I am in Indian (Hindu) male with Indian passport and more than 2 decades of residency in western countries. I am a History enthusiast and taken courses in the university. I want to visit Pakistan, especially KPK which was heart of Hindu civilization 2000 years ago to explore historical/religious imp sites. Considering the ongoing situation (post Op Sindoor, conflict in west Asia), are there any recommendations? Has anyone with similar profile tried this? (PS: I am not looking for adventures)

A bit more context: I would like to visit the region purely for the historical and religious significance/pilgrimage. The region hosts some of the very important sites in the Shiva + Nath sampraday. The situation of temples is not great, but they’re still there and hence, I would like to visit before they’re completely destroyed.

I am very keen and serious about it, but not sure how to do it and is the risk worth taking?

That’s amazing! You will love it. The people are very hospitable; don’t be surprised if they don’t let you pay for anything. I think you should go to Swat as well; it’s a day trip and stunning. Best of luck, hope you get a chance to visit and love for you to explore our culture

You will not get there with Indian passport. I don’t know what Iran conflict has anything to do with that. It was always extremely difficult for decades. It’s effectively suspended now

Dude really !!? Can you not hold until things get settle ? There is a lot anymosity between the two countries now, and active wars happening in the world and between afghan and pak.. this makes no sense to me.
