PAKISTAN - LAND OF BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS

Pakistan displays some of Asia’s most magnificent landscapes as it stretches from the Arabian Sea, its southern border, to some of the world’s most spectacular mountain ranges in the north. Pakistan is also home to sites that date back to the world’s earliest settlements rivaling those of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Pakistan extends some 1,700 Kilometers northward to the origins of the Indus among the mountains of the Himalayas, Hindu Kush and Karakoram. The Indus River originates in Tibet from the glacial streams of the Himalayas and after entering in the northeast flows the entire length of Pakistan.

Pakistan has some of the world's highest cold areas and numerous intermediate stages. Thus, within a relatively small area, it has the equivalent of many of the world's most important climatic and vegetation zones.

Located in South Asia, Pakistan shares an eastern border with India and a north-eastern border with China. Iran makes up the country's south-west border, and Afghanistan runs along its western and northern edge.
