From the mighty stretches of the Karakorams in the North to the vast alluvial delta of the Indus River in the South, Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and nature. Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing and bird watching, are a few activities, which entice the adventure and nature lovers to Pakistan.

Pakistan is also endowed with a rich and varied flora and fauna. High Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindukush ranged with their alpine meadows and permanent snow line, coniferous forests down the sub-mountain scrub, the vast Indus plain merging into the great desert, the coast line and wetlands, all offer a remarkably rich variety of vegetation and associated wildlife including avifauna, both endemic and migratory. Ten of 18 mammalian orders are represented in Pakistan with species ranging from the world’s smallest surviving mammals, the Mediterranean Pygmy Shrew, to the largest mammal ever known: the blue whale. From the Beaches in Balochistan and Sindh to the Forts in Lahore and beautiful valleys of the north like Kailash and Kumrat, every part of Pakistan has its own culture and language, which makes it even more interesting.
