From the mighty stretches of the
Karakorams in the North to the vast alluvial delta of the Indus
River in the South, Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and
nature. Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar
hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris,
trout fishing and bird watching, are a few activities, which entice
the adventure and nature lovers to Pakistan.
Pakistan is endowed with a rich and varied flora
and fauna. High Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindukush ranges with
their alpine meadows and permanent snow line, coniferous forests
down the sub-mountain scrub, the vast Indus plain merging into the
great desert, the coast line and wetlands, all offer a remarkably
rich variety of vegetation and associated wildlife including avifauna,
both endemic and migratory. Ten of 18 mammalian orders are represented
in Pakistan with species ranging from the world's smallest surviving
mammals, the Mediterranean Pigmy Shrew, to the largest mammal ever
known; the blue whale.
A tour to Pakistan will acquaint you with endless
possibilities the country has to offer. A land jam-packed with travel
destinations. In this section Pakistan Holiday attempts to present
the Non Resident Pakistanis with a series of Pakistan Travel Destinations,
which will take them into a world of nostalgic ambience.
The landscape of Pakistan is vibrant and diverse
with rugged mountains contrasting with flat, alluvial plains. Travel
to Karachi, the largest and lively city in Pakistan, renowned for
its seething immensity with its teeming bazaars, mosques, monuments
and colonial architecture. The provincial capital of Punjab, the
cultural city of Lahore is awash with beautiful monuments, gardens,
and palace.
