Lahore is the hub of eateries. Recently, the trend has increased ten-fold and even though there are uncountable restaurants now, some of them just out rank others in terms of their ambiance and of course their taste.

Visit Lahore’s Historical sites with Ghumo

Lahore’s architecture is one of the best in Pakistan. The buildings, the forts and the mosques are from times as old as the Mughal era. Lahoris have managed to preserve their architectural history over the centuries and till date, people still visit these monuments. When you book with Ghumo and decide to reside with a mezban, it will surely benefit you when they decide to share their own knowledge and information with you regarding their area and city. You cannot get this sort of insight anywhere else, it is only the mezbans who can give you in depth knowledge about their city including all the historical sites.  One of the best is the Lahore Fort. To this date, schools still take their students to this exceptional fort where the Mughals once resided. The people of Lahore occasionally take a little trip here from time to time as well because one simply cannot get enough of the beauty this fort holds. And for those who are visiting from other cities, it is a must for th

Travel with Trust

It’s not a secret that when you decide to stay in someone’s home for a certain amount of time, you need to develop a trustworthy relationship. You need to trust that their care-taking skills are only to provide you with the best comfort and they are sincere when they open up their arms to invite you in and not because they have to. It takes compromise on your part as well, giving up all the services a hotel would provide including security and 24/7 room service when you take the initiative to remain in someone’s home, someone being a complete stranger. And there can certainly be no room for pride in this situation and that too, on either side. Deciding to live in someone else’s space for the nonce can be challenging on so many levels. It might feel as though you are invading their personal space, it may feel as though you are taking more space than you initially planned, it maybe that you feel as though you have outstayed your welcome. There are hundreds of endless possibili

Pakistan’s mehmaan nawazi

Pakistan, as a society takes pride in their mehmaan nawazi skills. They are hospital people, who look forward hosting get-togethers at their homes. These events can be luncheons, dinners, hi-teas and even traditional events such as dholkis, mendhi’s and so much more. These are just a few examples of a short-time period commitment. However, when the hospitality does not stop here. It is extended when guests decide to reside in their homes temporarily as well. And this is exactly, why Ghumo has decided to launch a platform, giving the Pakistani society the opportunity to showcase their skills and in return, earn an income. To think that this is an extremely difficult task, one is mistaken. When having guests over, you do have to provide eatables for them, have to entertain them, keep them company throughout, yet, this is not the case when it comes to people renting out rooms or properties through Ghumo. These renters simply need a place to stay and everything else that is pr

A Student’s Diary: Traveling on a budget in Pakistan

All students, whether they are in school or university, at some point, plan to travel the northern areas with their friends. I, myself have planned numerous trips throughout my educational years. But also, like most students, I am too, constrained by a budget. It would be utterly preposterous to spend around Rs. 30,000 or more on a few days’ trip with friends, keeping in mind that school and universities fees already cost so much. One ought to think that since a group of friends are going on vacation together, the cost might be less. However, with inflation increasing ten-fold, nothing is cheap nowadays! Certainly not any sort of vacation. During my trip to the northern areas of Gilgit, it was remotely difficult to accommodate everyone regarding the final amount of the trip. This was because most students did not find the cost feasible as it was only a short trip and the costs of hiring transportation along with the living situation exceeded the estimated cost. Most of the e
