The territory of present-day Pakistan was
invaded through the centuries by Aryans, Persians, Macedonians, Central
Asians, Huns, Turks, Arabs, and Moghuls. European traders arrived from
the fifteenth century on. By 1858, the British East India Company was
in control, and previously independent states found themselves contained
within British India. In 1906, the Muslim League was formed after breaking
away from the Congress Party. The Muslim League demanded a homeland for
the Muslims separate from predominantly Hindu India. The unrest between
the two main communities escalated into violence, and in 1947 the British
pulled out, India was partitioned, and the state of Pakistan created. |

The land is very varied, including deserts, mountain, forests, and fertile
plains. Pakistan experiences the most extreme temperatures on earth, from
50°c in the Sindh region in the summer, to minus 50°c in the northern
mountain ranges in the winter. Pakistan faces great environmental challenges.
Drought is a major problem in some areas, while in others it is floods
that cause damage and hardship.
If you have not been to Pakistan so far then you MUST plan a trip to Pakistan
and discover how lovely places we have here. It is a paradise for tourists
but unfortunately not many tourists come here. It is the negative stereotypical
image of the country portrayed by the western media that keeps many tourists
away from Pakistan. |

Pakistan
is rich in culture and pure in tradition. People are very friendly and
their hospitality is some thing you would never forget. From blue water
beaches to snow covered huge peaks, from deserts to lush green meadows;
we have all of them in Pakistan.
Lush green Valleys, meadows, snow-covered peaks, thick forests, chilly
lakes and streams, lovely wild flowers, rare species of animals, birds
and beautiful views is what northern areas offer you.
Few of most popular tourist spots in these areas are Skardu, Chitral,
Hunza, Gilgit, Kaghan, Naran, Swat, Kalam, Malam Jaba, Nathiagali and
Abbotabad.

Pakistan’s
climate is varied because of the difference in elevation from one end
of the country to another. During the summer months from April to September
the mountainous north is pleasant and temperate, but the Indus Valley
swelters in temperatures of 100ºF (40ºC) or more. In late summer
the southern region experiences monsoons, particularly along the coast.
