Hey everyone,

I have been working on a series called Untold Lahore which features stories from the city that don’t make it to mainstream media.

When I went into the research and writing for this, I only had one goal in mind: “To tell the world, Lahore is more than just food.”

I was sick and tired of seeing content creators only documenting food, food & food. I knew there was more to the city than just that and so, I began working.

I came across a niche community in Lahore that skate everyday. There is a skate park in Bagh-e-Jinnah where they do this. It was built by a US based NGO called ‘Salad Days of Skateboarding’.

It’s a pretty cool story & I thought I’ll share it here.

This is episode 7 from the series. You can watch the other episodes on my Instagram channel. 😊

I genuinely love this city, but lately it feels like we’re stuck in an endless loop. Every weekend someone asks, “What’s the plan?” and the answer is always: “Let’s grab coffee.”
Then another coffee place. Then another coffee place pretending to be different because the walls are beige and the coffee costs Rs. 1,200.
At this point Lahore’s entire social scene feels like a competition to see who can sit in the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shop.

What else is there to do? Also every time I find something interesting—a concert, networking event, fashion event, cultural gathering, social meetup—the description says:

“Couples and families only.”
“No stags allowed.”

What kind of nonsense is that?

So if you’re single, you’re automatically banned from participating in society?

Then people wonder why everyone ends up sitting in coffee shops for six hours discussing the same topics every weekend.

Lahore has 15 million people, yet somehow the city’s social life feels incredibly limited unless you’re already part of a private circle. Right now it feels like Lahore is becoming a city where there’s always traffic, always crowds, always people outside… yet somehow nothing to do.

I am a 24F living in Askari 11 Sector B, and I am looking for people who are interested in walking together in Askari 11 nearby Sector B.

My only requirement is that you're consistent and willing to prove your identity via a valid LinkedIn account.

I don't mind whether you're a man or a woman, you should just enjoy walking and should be one of those people who don't like to have their ear pods on every minute of the walk.

People nearby in age and genuinely interested in walking, especially in parks, please dm or comment below and I'll reach out

Hey Lahore! 👋
We’re planning a Tekken 8 session on PS5 tonight and looking for a few people who’d like to join. I’m around Defence / DHA side.
Tekken is the main plan, but I’ve got plenty of other PS5 games too, so we can switch depending on what everyone feels like playing.
Just a chill gaming night — games, fun and good company. 🎮 You’re welcome to bring snacks if you want, but please don’t bring anything illegal or inappropriate. Let’s keep it simple and respectful.
If you’re nearby and free tonight, drop a comment or DM me! 🔥

It was undoubtedly zero visibility after 1AM last night all the way from DHA to Johar Town

Firstly i sometimes wonder why's there no debate house or intellectual centre in Pakistan,like not even 1 which might be famous,yea there's one liberal one the black hole lol,but uski toh bat hi choro

So guy's let's open one where intellectual discussion hon and debates on the topics like politics, religion, philosophy, psychology, history,current affairs

Like atleast 3 times a week and we could also invite guests with good intellect or even with good following so that our centre could get good reach and publicity

Finally Fans are off in Lahore after long summer season,
Be ready for SMOG,,,,

I’ve been feeling really bored in Lahore lately. I’m tried of doing the usual stuff like going to restaurants, cafes, bowling, go karting and similar activities and they just don’t feel fun anymore.

Would really appreciate any ideas on how to make life in Lahore more exciting again.

You want to watch The Odyssey on the big Screen? Cinestar screen 2 is best for this movie. Like seriously Maximus se bhi zyada screen size hai. I know they don't have IMAX anymore and don't know exactly how IMAX license exactly worked but yu samjho ke woh keh gae ho Bhai yeh IMAX wali screen rakh lo baaqi saman hum le ke jaa rahey hai. However sound bs sai hai aur Subtitles nai hai(If anyone cares.)

Fuel prices are rising. Everything is getting more expensive. And while we all know the system isn’t going to change overnight, there is something we can control how we treat the people who serve us every day.

This is a simple request to everyone:

Let’s build a tipping culture in Pakistan.

Whether it’s your Foodpanda rider, an InDriver driver, a delivery guy, or any service worker adding just Rs. 50–100 as a tip might feel like nothing to us. But for them, it can make a real difference.

Think about it:

If one person tips Rs. 50 and a rider completes 10 deliveries a day, that’s Rs. 500 extra daily — around Rs. 15,000 a month. That’s not small. That’s meaningful support.

We’re in a position where we can give — and that itself is a blessing. Many people out there are working long hours in tough conditions just to make ends meet.

Let’s be more considerate. Let’s be more responsible. Let’s look out for each other.

If we can’t change the system, we can at least change how we show up for people around us.

Let’s join hands and make this small habit a norm. And let’s pray things get easier for everyone soon 🤲

Readings is probably one of the best things that lahore has to offer. Went there completely bored and ended up reading 2 volumes of chainsaw man for free. The vibe just can’t be beaten

With my older brother hoarding over my laptop for the past few weeks, I had a realization that other than the gym, almost all my hobbies revolve around my laptop or a screen in one way or another. Gaming, watching shows, even playing chess. With no laptop, my weekends have become quite miserable. I used to play football with my friends but since we all started working/got into unis, its hard to schedule even a single match a month.

Therefore, I've decided to look for some independent non-tech hobbies to get into. I've been going through some non-pakistani subs but they always suggest things which are either too expensive for me or just not available in the area like hiking, rock climbing, horse riding, etc.

I do read, however, I can never seem to do it consistently. Sometimes I'll read for hours a day and other times I won't pick up a book for months.

So please suggest me some fun things to do on weekends that are cheap and easy to get into.

I live in DHA Phase 5 if that helps.

Thank you :D

Hey you all saw that post about the haunted house in Bahria? Link here https://www.reddit.com/r/Lahore/s/9WKBZjad8M

So, I'm going visit this house today, I'm very curious and frightened too but I'll go and check out for good. I got the address too.....

I'm going this Sunday Nov 9 between 6:30-7:30 morning. Will live stream on twitch.tv/kingrana786

Hmu if someone wants to go with me...

Went to Lahore Garrison Shooting Gallery this weekend. Was really fun 2 hours. Staff especially the instructors were really friendly and polite although the one at the counter were meh.... If you know what you're doing won't have to talk to them much so that won't be problem.

hii

i’ve had a hard time making friends, even as a child.

not because i’m antisocial, but because my values are really important to me. authenticity matters a lot to me and i gravitate toward people who are genuinely passionate about things. if someone’s just into something because it’s trendy, i mentally check out and it gives me the ick.

so instead of just “looking for friends,” i’m thinking of starting a small, intentional Lahore-based girls’ circle where we:

– have painting afternoons

– watch movies and actually discuss them

– thrift together

– do low-cost, wholesome activities around the city

– have picnics or sports afternoons

a little about me:

• F, 25

• vegetarian (don’t care if you’re not, just be respectful about vegetarianism/veganism)

• big on animal welfare

• love music and movies

• not religious, not judgmental

• i don’t care about your sexuality, pronouns, or lifestyle as long as you’re kind and self-aware (don’t be weird or a meth-head)

i collect band tees, love thrifting, don’t care about brands, and i’m not materialistic. i recycle. i care about things. i like people who care about things.

i’m an empath (with strict boundaries), big on communication and emotional vulnerability.

i’m in a committed relationship, so this is strictly for girls.

local only, the goal is meeting up in Lahore. we’ll probably talk on discord first just to make sure everyone’s normal.

and if you’re a guy reading this thinking of interacting, i promise you, you will not be entertained.

let’s build something intentional in this city instead of just complaining about how hard it is to find good people here :)

Guyss, it's too hot these days and me and husband would really want to go swimming in a safe place where we don't have creeps staring at me. Please suggest with personal experience.

What a rainstorm it was. Itni sakht andhi. Terrace pr pri chairs table urr urr kr gir rhi thin. Or barish itni shadeed. Wallah I was so scared. Or sab sy bri bat loadshedding. 2 ghntay ho gaye light gaye.

Was it the same in your area?

Need a proper massage somewhere SAFE & NOT SHADY. Just a good massage. Where can I go?

i need to visit shah alam market to look for wholesale jewellery. it will be my first time and i dont know my ways around. also it will be a one day trip so i need to fit everything in a day. if anyone knows their way around pls guide me or if any girlie out there wanna accompany for similar work.

Title!! I didn't grow up in lahore but I have a deep admiration towards it and i would love to see lahore through the eyes of one who has grown up within lahore. Your fav spots, restaurants, activities, etc!! I'll be giving them a shot if it's feasible

Hi guys, so recently Indians have started griefing our arts all over Pakistan by replacing our flags with indian or BLA flags.

Our community is trying its best to restore everything, but they have too many players so its really difficult to reclaim our arts. and almost everyday they are dumping hundreds of thousands of pixels with the sole objective of destroying Pakistani artworks

So If you enjoy being part of a community and want to help us out, then do check out Wplace. It’s a simple, easy-to-understand game that’s accessible on all devices—just search “Wplace” in your browser and you’ll find it. We also have a decent-sized community on Discord, so feel free to join our discord server too. ❤️

We’re 2 people so far and looking for a few more cool people to complete the team for a PANIQ Room escape game in Lahore.

Whether you’re coming with friends or solo, you’re welcome to join. Girls are welcome too.

If you’re into puzzles, mystery, teamwork, or just want to meet some new people and have a fun evening, drop a comment or send a DM.

Price is 4,500 PKR

We are planning this week

Hey guys random question.

I was thinking of going to PC Lahore just to try their restaurants or maybe grab a coffee or something never been there before so not sure how it works can a normal person just walk in and eat there or is it only for people staying at the hotel also do you need a reservation or can you just go would appreciate if someone who’s been there can guide a bit

Me and my friends played the OG Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 1 after a long time and we're posting to see if there's another group that wants to play against us (team death match mode)

We can do it either in Johar town or model town (or if we know of any half decent gaming zone in Lahore) ideally on a Sunday (since most of us work on Saturdays too). If there's any group of friends that wants to go against us, please reach out. We'll book a gaming zone in advance.

Thanks!
