by Mozumbus

(November 11, 2011) Taking advantage of the long Eid weekend I took a couple of days break and drove all the way to Umerkot, South Western city of Pakistan, which is the Eastern gateway to the Thar Desert, or the Great Indian Desert.The city is rich in culture and heritage and has the following to attract an inquisitive traveler:* Umerkot Fort with impressive entrance, high watch tower, and colonial structures* Birthplace of Akbar, the most famous of Mughul Emperors* Religious aspects because of significant Hindu population, alien to other Pakistan cities* Refresher drink: Thadal* Red Chili and Cottonseed crops* Priceless handicrafts and Thari bangles* Adjoining Thar Desert* Wild PeacocksPlease click here for pictures and trip details.

To the west of Haripur is one of the Pakistan's geo-technical wonders, The world's biggest earthen dam,"Tarbela", spanning the Indus where it empties onto the plains it was meant to ease Pakistan's fragile dependence on irrigation water from rivers like Chinab and Sutluj that rise in India. It was started in 1968 and not yet finished. It is immense -150 m high and 2.5 km across and most dramatic when in summer its 95 sq. miles long resevoir is full & the monster spillways are thundering.

Nathia Gali Dunga Gali Trekking

by sohailisd

NathiaGali is a hill station located almost 2 hours drive from Islamabad. It comprises of a series of villages and dwelling reffered to as Galiyat. Dunga Gali is one such village. It offers various trails for trekking the famous being the Mushkpuri to Lalazar trek. The trail is almost 3 hours and becomes challenging when it rains. The best time to go is July when it rains and the scenery is breathtaking. Local porters/guides are available for carrying equipment for camping.It is a unique experience if the weather permits. Remember to negotiate with the locals.

The KKH

by illumina

Following the KKH from Islamabad in Pakistan to Kashgar in the Xinjiang region of China is possibly one of the most adventurous things I've ever done! The 1300km of road takes in some of the most spectacular mountain scenery, and crosses the highest border in the world - the Khunjerab pass at 4,693 m.
