Strategically located in South Asia, Pakistan is mainly divided in four provinces- Sind, Balochistan, Punjab and North West Frontier Province. Each of these provinces has enough tourist attractions and necessary amenities for making a Pakistan tour complete and comfortable. The mighty stretches of the Karakorams in the North and the vast alluvial delta of the Indus River in the South exemplify the diversity that Pakistan travel can offer the tourists.
While the land has enough to offer the heritage tourists, the leisure travelers would be delighted to see the High Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindukush ranges with their alpine meadows and permanent snow line, the vast Indus plain merging into the great desert, the coast line and wetlands. By indulging in activities like trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing and bird watching in Pakistan one can easily make the Pakistan tour a memorable one.
