In this edition, CFT looks at Pakistan anew.

It considers the meaning of “the land at your fingertips” as a tangible connection to place, experienced through the texture of colourful printed pages and extended through QR codes that invite further discovery.

We explore Pakistan as both a luxury destination and a community-rooted experience, from hand-picked stays with exceptional design to the culture and people who call it home. In Lahore, we celebrate the kite-flying festival of Basant and explore the city’s potential as a wedding destination. Further north, we connect with a solo backpacker championing women’s adventure, fall in love with the flight to Skardu, and visit the Karakoram Disability Forum. We profile Chef Manzoor Hussain, who is reimagining traditional Balti cuisine, while Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem shares the ultimate guide to his home city. Through the music of Coke Studio, we explore the art of storytelling, venture into the wild landscapes of Balochistan, play polo and padel at high altitude, and consider what it means to navigate Pakistan with AI. We also meet the citizens driving the country’s green revolution, and reflect on the pull of the ancestral homeland for the diaspora.
