Women travelling alone in pakistan

here is a copy of a letter sent to a female friend in EU
about her coming to Pakistan
English translation on the go !!

Je pense qu’une Ella Maillart une David Néel contemporaine peut être es tu celle-ci, pourrait fort bien faire la différence, et témoigner d’une experience pour le moins intense et originale.
Le concept, l’idée même dans ce monde musulman integriste obsolete et névrosé de la femme independante « lâchée » seule dans la vie quotidienne semble passablement loufoque ou en tout les cas absente de leur petit cerveau qui n’ont pas de logement pour le dossier, excepté peut être dans le cas de l’universitaire bourgeoise (forcement très riche) destinée à une carrière politique ou bancaire.
En dehors du « Hunza, du Baltistan, de Chitral » et peut être des Kailashes ou les femmes ont une forme d’expression indépendante, des yeux et le droit de répondre avec un sourire, les Pakistanaises semblent confinées à leur foyer.
Un voyage au Pakistan peut être passionnant mais devra être extrêmement bien planifié.
Je m’explique : la plupart des contrées sont restées vierges par le contre coup du soit disant sous développement, le retard béni de l’arrivée du high tech.
Comme nous l’avons trop souvent constaté vous et moi l’arrivée du progrès dans les régions sous développées signifie trop souvent déchets plastiques qui bouchent les caniveaux, « Soap » à la télé, Mobile dernier cri bien en vue, Baseball Cap et sous nutrition galopante malgré la croissance du « Pot Belly » des notables locaux....
Une voyageuse bien documentée sur le Pakistan avec un fil conducteur, un plan de voyage dynamique une motivation ardente pourrait faire une expérience de voyage sans précédents et passablement aventureuse, (mais non sans risques).
Elle sera certainement confrontée à certain aspects glauques de le gents masculine (so do I).

C’est ce facteur d’inattendu, d’instabilité qui va pousser vers l’aventure vraie, vers l’inattendu vers l’original.
Néanmoins le monde étant réduit à un gigantesque « Club Med » pourquoi ne pas prendre le risque d’une aventure authentique, il reste si peu d’opportunités!!
Le pays semble offrir une richesse une authenticité flagrante en comparaison de son voisin l’Inde spoliée par le tourisme de masse.
Qualité requises:
Courage, force de caractère, capacités d’adaptation, réflexes, abandon momentané de revendication « féminines » expérience de la route et Visa Pako souvent difficile à obtenir.

PS: Non cette vision ce décodage du monde musulman n’est pas l’effet l’information des medias, en tout cas pas ici!
Ça craint réellement (bien sur pas de la manière précise décrite par la presse) et c’est d’autant plus Différent et si c’est de ça qu’on a envie : FUN !!!
Well la Colombie et le Mexique aussi !!
PS 2: L’idée de voyager en groupe ne manque pas de bon sens.

For the benefit of those who do not know French!!!! Google Translator!

I think that Ella Maillart one David Neel contemporary art can be you it could very well make the difference, and demonstrate an experience to say the least intense and original.
The concept, the idea in this world Muslim fundamentalist obsolete and neurotic independent woman "dropped" only in everyday life seems rather silly or absent in all cases their small brains who have no housing for the folder except perhaps in the case of the bourgeois university (necessarily rich) for a career in politics or banking.
Outside the 'Hunza, Baltistan, Chitral "and can be Kailashes or women have some form of independent expression, eyes, and the right to respond with a smile, Pakistani seem confined to their homes.
A trip to Pakistan can be exciting but will be extremely well planned.
Let me explain: most parts are left blank by the blow against the so-called underdevelopment, blessed the delay of the arrival of high tech.
As we have seen too often you and I arrived progress in underdeveloped regions too often means plastic waste that clog gutters, "Soap" on TV, mobile art prominently Baseball Cap and undernutrition rampant despite the growth of "Pot Belly" local notables ....
A traveler well documented on Pakistan with a thread, a travel plan dynamic fiery motivation could travel experience unprecedented and quite adventurous (but safe).
It will certainly be faced with certain aspects of the gents male glaucous (so do I).

This is unexpected factor, instability will push the adventure true to the unexpected to the original.
However, the world is reduced to a giant "Club Med" why not take the risk of a true adventure, there is so little opportunity!
The country seems to offer a wealth authenticity gross compared to its neighbor India despoiled by mass tourism.
Quality requirements:
Courage, strength of character, resilience, reflexes, temporary abandonment of claim "feminine" experience on the road and Visa Pako often difficult to obtain.

PS: Not that this vision decoding the Muslim world is not the effect of the information media, at least not here!
Really sucks (of course not accurately described by the press) and this is even more so Different and that's what we want: FUN!
Well Colombia and Mexico as well!
PS 2: The idea of ​​traveling in a group does not lack common sense.

JJ

If you read it quickly you can understand it.

If nothing else else, it helps one understand how French people think!

Thanks incognitto59 for french translation.

Here is the actual meaning of my text

I assume a contemporary Ella Maillart or a David Neel (You may be are this one) would make the difference and testify of an intense and original experience.
The concept in a obsolete extremist and neurotic Muslim world, the very idea of an independent woman free to lead her life by herself seems quiet foolish moreover totally out of common sense and out the comprehension capacity of Muslim men except may be in the case of an academic upper class scholar rich student bound for a politic or banking career.
Beside the « Hunza, Baltistan, and Chitral » areas or may be the Kaylashe where women have an independent form of expression, bright and beautiful eyes and the right to smile, Pakistani women seem confined to their home.
A trip to Pakistan can be awesome but should be carefully planned.
Due to under development many of the regions remained virgin untouched by he High tech pollution
As we have too often noticed the arrival of so called progress in back ward areas means plastics sheets hanging everywhere, Soap on Teevee, fancy mobile phone for every one, base ball caps, fluor pink underwear and bad nutrition despite the ever bulging Potbelly of the local noteworthy .
A well documented female traveller with a real travelling
thread main line
and strong motivation could have an incomparable adventurous experience.
She will most probably be confronted to some of the dodgy aspects of Males. But the out of the blue factor will bring original amazing adventure.
Since the world has become a gigantic « Club Med » why not take the chance of a true quest ?
There are so few opportunity left!
The country seems to offer an obvious treasure of authenticity as compared to India already spoiled by mass tourism.
Guts, personality, determination, reflexes intuition, momentary abandon of so called feminie revendication’s, a minimum of travel experience and a Pakistani visa are required !
May be join other travels now and then for a bit of journey could be a good idea !!

Thanks again.

In my humble opinion this is not correct to a large extent! I would say it is a very skewed observation.

thanks for your detail about Pakistan and specially about the northern part of Pakistan...
