Pakistan is a country with beautiful & varied landscape. From the awe inspiring Himalayan mountains of the north to the fertile plains of the Punjab & the stark desert of Cholistan, Pakistan offers every kind of environment possible. It is a land of contrasts, of surprises, a richly textured melting pot of diversity that leaves a vivid memory in the minds of every visitor. Historically, Pakistan is one of the most ancient lands known to man. Its cities blossomed even before Babylon was built; its people practiced the art of good living and citizenship long before the celebrated ancient Greeks. From the ancient wonders found at Moenjodaro and Taxilla, seats of the ancient Indus Valley and Gandhara civilizations, to the northern mountain ranges of the Himalayas, the Hindukush and the Karakoram mountain ranges unrivalled anywhere in the world with such formidable peaks as K2 & Nanga Parbat; from the picturesque Swat Valley to the bustling cities of Karachi and Lahore; from the desolate barrenness of Baluchistan to the golden beaches of the Mekran coast, Pakistan is a traveler's dream come true. Pakistan is also a country with strong cultural traditions. Half a dozen civilizations have flourished here and left their impact. Pakistan owes its many influences to the countless visitors to the region. Around 1500 BC, the Aryans came and influenced the Hindu civilization; later, the Persians occupied the Northern regions from the 6th century BC up to the 2nd century AD, while the Greeks were also here, arriving in 327 BC with Alexander the Great of Macedonia. In 712 AD, the Arabs set foot in what is now Pakistan somewhere near modern Karachi and ruled the lower half of Pakistan for two hundred years. 300 years later the Muslims from Central Asia arrived and ruled almost the whole Subcontinent up to the 18th Century AD before the British arrived to take control. Modern day Pakistan is made up of four provinces: Baluchistan, Sindh, Punjab and North West Frontier Province (NWFP.) |
