Introduction to Pakistan Tourism

Pakistan is a country in South Asia, bordered by India to the east and Afghanistan to the west. It is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, including snow-capped mountain peaks and lush valleys.

Pakistan's diverse landscape includes deserts, forests and wildlife sanctuaries where you can spot exotic animals like tigers, leopards and bears. There are also many historical sites such as Buddhist stupas that date back over 2,000 years or ancient ruins from Alexander's invasion of India in 326 BC. 

History and Culture: Pakistan is a land of great history and culture, which has influenced its tourism industry in many ways.
The history of Pakistan can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization that flourished in the region thousands of years ago. This civilization was one of the first urban societies in South Asia, and its influence can still be seen today through archaeological sites like Mohenjo-daro and Harappa. Many other civilizations have also left their mark on this country's landscape over time: Alexander's invasion led him to create Alexandria Bucephalous (modern day Karachi); Arab traders established ports along coastal areas; Mughal emperors ruled over vast empires during their reign from 1526 until 1707; British colonizers brought railways and roads into existence during their rule from 1857 until 1947 when Pakistan became independent from Britain after World War II ended.
Must-See Attractions

The Badshahi Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world, and it's located in Lahore. It was built by Emperor Aurangzeb in 1673 to commemorate his father, Shah Jahan. The mosque can hold up to 100,000 people at once!

The Minar-e-Pakistan (Minaret of Pakistan) was built as a symbol of national unity after independence from Britain in 1947. It stands tall on an island in Lake Ravi near Islamabad with views of both sides of Kashmir--India and Pakistan--and is visible for miles around.

The Shalimar Gardens were originally designed by Mughal Emperor Jahangir's wife Nur Jehan Begum during her husband's reign between 1622-1627 CE (Common Era). Today they're open for public viewing; this beautiful garden has fountains galore along with flowers such as jasmine plants growing everywhere you look!

Taxila Museum houses artifacts found around Taxila Valley dating back thousands upon thousands years ago when civilizations first started forming here on Earth during ancient times before Christ came down into Egypt where Moses led him out onto dry land so he could lead his people safely away from Pharaoh who wanted them dead because they wouldn't worship him anymore after God spoke through Moses' mouth saying "Let my people go!"

Festivals: Pakistan is a country of festivals. The people here are very religious and they celebrate all their festivals with great enthusiasm and fervor. There are many different types of festivals celebrated in Pakistan and some of them are:

Basant (March-April) - This festival marks the beginning of spring season in Pakistan where people celebrate it by wearing new clothes, dancing and singing songs on streets, lighting lamps etc.,
Eid ul Fitr (Ramzan) - It marks the end of fasting month for Muslims which lasts 29-30 days depending on lunar calendar; during this time they offer prayers at mosques or anywhere where there is space available for offering prayers; after offering prayers they distribute sweets among family members & friends as well as others who come visiting them during this time period; some families also organize big parties at home along with other rituals like exchanging gifts etc., Jashn e Baharan (August) - This festival involves taking out processions through city streets decorated with lights & colorful flags where participants sing traditional folk songs while dancing around fire lit up trucks carrying huge speakers blaring music into everyone's ears!

Tips for Visiting Pakistan: Dress appropriately. While Pakistan is a country that is very accepting of Westerners, it's important to dress conservatively when visiting the country. For example, wearing shorts and tank tops may make you feel more comfortable but will not be appreciated by locals who are used to seeing modest clothing on women.

Don't be afraid to interact with locals! Many visitors are nervous about interacting with people they don't know because they fear being taken advantage of or having their belongings stolen; however, this doesn't have to be an issue if you follow some simple rules: always have someone else nearby when talking with strangers; try not to carry anything valuable in your pockets (such as money or passports); and never leave valuables unattended in public places such as buses or restaurants.* Be aware of safety concerns when traveling around Pakistan - especially if you're traveling alone - because there have been instances where foreigners were kidnapped while visiting certain areas.* Always carry identification documents such as passports at all times so that police officers can easily identify you if needed.*
