Tanga

Sialkot is connected with Lahore and Islamabad Rawalpindi with all three means. Daewoo Bus Service is the best to reach Sialkot if you are not using cab or car. Within Sialkot you will not find any worthwhile means. You will have to rely on your own transport or hire a car. At one time the TANGAS was the only transport within Siakot.

THE MOST BUSIEST CITY

Favorite thing: Living in Sialkot can keep you busy from dawn till dusk. A typical Punjab province city where mostly people speak Punjabi. They love their guest and go out of the way to make them comfortable. Bazzars and markets are full of local foods and culture. Lot of TONGAS, the transport means, can be seen here. Sports items and stainless steel utensils are the most famous products. The best rice are grown here. During 65 and 71 wars, Sialkot became very famous being located on the border of Pakistan and India.

Fondest memory: Liked its food and bazzars
