About Pakistan
A journey through Pakistan is a face to
face encounter with a fascinating land that has withstood
countless invasions and preserved the essence of its
conquerors in the form of present day monuments and
archaeological heritage. See for yourself the excavated
sites at Mohenjodaro and Taxila - seats of the ancient Indus
Valley and Gandhara civilizations; the architectural
monuments of the Moghuls; the Khyber Pass - the historic
inlet to South Asia - or the ancient unchanging traditions
of the Kafir Kalash of the Chitral Valley.
For those with an intrinsic love of
mountains, Pakistan offers the unique pleasure of its
northern mountain ranges, the Himalayas, the Hindukush and
the Karakorams - a mountain wonderland unrivalled in the
entire world with such formidable peaks as the K-2, the
Nanga Parbat, the Rakaposhi, and the Trichmir. These ranges
present an awesome challenge for those looking for trekking,
mountaineering, angling, or jeep safaris. The resorts in
these remote valleys make for an ideal summer get-away. |
