WHY PAKISTAN ? |
|
THE ULTIMATE TOURIST
DESTINATION !
The first tourist group arrived in Pakistan
some 4000 years ago. They were the Aryans.
They liked the land so much that they never went
back. In
their search, came the Persians followed by the
Greeks,
Bactarians, Huns, Arabs, Darvidians,
Turks, Mongols, Tibetans and many others,
but they all preferred to stay in this pristine land. |
 |
 |
The obvious reason was the
incomparable beauty, grandeur and tranquility of this
region. Pakistan possesses all the ingredients for a Booming
Tourist Destination. Its extremely rich heritage
is enough to quench the aesthetics from all walks of
life. Unfortunately, Pakistan's tourism
potential is little known to the western world and its
rich and multicolored heritage is lying untapped.
However, this is a blessing in disguise as tourists
can enjoy solitude and tranquility. |
|
THE INCOMPARABLE HISTORY
10
million years ago, the common ancestors of man
& ape roamed around Islamabad, the
gleaming capital of Pakistan. The stone age tools of
Homo Sapiens species of 50,000 BC are found along
So'Aan River.
We happen to be the proud inheritors of regions that
remained
centers of ancient civilizations of World. |
 |
 |
Not just one out of dozens, but we happen to
be ONE
out of the
TWO ancient civilizations on Earth.
Yes..! the developed civilizations of the
Indus, at Harrappa and Moenjodaro are
both Contemporary to the
Egyptian civilizations of the Nile
and
Mesopotamian civilizations of
Euphrates. This makes Pakistan, a
paradise for the lovers of history and archaeology. |
|
The developed city of
Mehargarh
was 3000 year old when Alexander the great
invaded this country in 326 B.C. The region that forms
Pakistan has always been on the crossroads of history.
All the ancient routes and great passes happen to be in Pakistan,
which made this region a favorite play ground for many conquerors,
traders, travelers, historian, preachers and tourists who
came from around the world. |
 |
 |
THE MATCHLESS PEOPLE ... !
Pakistan is an eternal abode of 160 Million people
of over 30 Ethnic Groups speaking over 40 Languages &
Dialects (excluding
immigrants). They all differ from each other in every respect.
Here live the people in caves, straw abodes, mud houses &
boats quite aloof from the privileges of modern life,
and in the same country dwell the people in palatial living
quarters and skyscrapers well acquainted to the space-age. |
|
Pakistan,
is perhaps, the only country which exhibits an amazing
contrast of people in terms of their color, creeds, races, inheritance, customs,
languages, dresses and religions - just after every 25
miles in any direction. Whether
they are the Fierce Pathans or
the Upright Balochis; Submissive Baltis or
the Amiable Hunzakurts; Primitive Kafirs
or the Versatile Punjabis - they all bear different
cultures, traditions and
customs, but they are all
fastened with just one common
character - the
Pakistani Traditional Hospitality. |
 |
 |
THE UNUSUAL GEOGRAPHY ...!
Enveloped in the extremes of
04 distinct weathers,
the contrasting
Geography of Pakistan is the
nature's great gift. Spread
over an area of 8,68,591
Sq Kms, this magnificent
land contains galaxies of
towering snow capped
mountains, gigantic creeping
glaciers, lush green alpine &
meadows, rushing white
rivers, tumbling waterfalls,
quiet lakes, blossoming
fruit orchards in
the North,
..........
and fertile |
|
plateaus, rich alluvial plains, meandering yellow rivers,
glowing deserts & sandy beaches in the South. The Hundreds of miles of rushing torrents
surging out from the snouts of these glaciers mingle to form
the 3200 Km long Indus river which quenches the entire
length of the country and merges with the Arabian Sea
-
which banks a sandy beach of over 1000 Km ! |
 |
 |
This incomparable
contrast will be completed only but with a brief mention of
the 470,000 Sq Km deserts located in Baluchistan,
Sindh
& Southern Punjab with rich multicolored culture of
their own.
The CONTINENTAL COLLISION of the three
mighty mountain ranges of the world the Himalayas, the Karakorams
& the Hindukush in the North gave birth to the
thickest cluster of the Highest Peaks
& Largest Glaciers on
Earth. |
|
The statistics are simply baffling. 05
of the world's 14 peaks above 8000 meters are
in Pakistan.
101 peaks are above
7000 meters whereas, peaks from 6999 to 3000 meters
are countless. All peaks up to 6500 M may be climbed
without paying
any permit fees.
50 of the world's
100
highest peaks are in Pakistan. K-2 8626 M is the
second highest
on Earth. |
 |
 |
Alone in Baltistan &
Hunza, there are more than 100 peaks above
18,000 ft. Literally, most of their base camps
are higher than the Summits of all the peaks in Europe. Pakistan's
glaciated region covers 12,000 Sq/Kms. The 06
longest valley glaciers of the world, are also in Pakistan
& their total length exceed 350 Km. The
Biafo-Hispar
glacial
corridor of
116 Km
is the
longest
on Earth. No
mention of over 300
small
glaciers &
their
tributaries
ranging from
1 to
50
Kms. |
