This trip is an excellent combination of
adventure and culture, enabling you to visit
not only some of the most important
historical cities of Pakistan but also the
remote villages and nomad camps of Cholistan
Desert. This Desert covers an area of over
1600 sq kilometers extending into the Thar
Desert.
In Cholistan one can experience the life of
the nomads as you travel on the camel back
around the famous Derawar Fort built in the
9th century AD by Prince of Jaisal Mir on
the edge of the Cholistan desert. Nights
will be spent in the comfortable Mughal
tents with the facilities of 5 Star under
the open desert sky and dinner will be
accompanied by local music and dances.
From Derawar drive out of the desert to the
historic city of Uch Sharif through the
rural landscape. Uch contains some of the
most beautiful tombs with blue glazed tile
work reflecting a distinct influence of
central Asian architecture. During the 13th
century, it was center of Islamic learning
and many famous scholars and saints buried
here in this small town visit the
spectacular tombs of Bibi Jawindi and
Jalal-udin Surkh Bukhari with its beautiful
glazed tile decoration before proceeding to
Multan.
Multan has an ancient history and every
invader who entered the Indian subcontinent
from Alexander to the Mughals and even the
British struggled for its control. Walk
through its colorful bazaars and visit the
beautiful octagonal tombs of Bahauddin
Zakria and Shah Ruk-e-Alam. |
