Pakistan - A Brief Fact File

Image
Pakistan is a South Asian country located directly above the Tropic of Cancer. It borders on India (east), China (northeast), Afghanistan (northwest) and Iran (west), while the Arabian Sea (1046 km) marks its southern boundary. Pakistan gained the sovereignty of British India on August 14, 1947. Its foundation was attributed to many people, including the great thinker and poet Iqbal and the Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam or The Great Leader). The founding of Pakistan was one of the greatest migrations in history when millions of Muslims left India to move to the newborn state. Pakistan consists of four provinces, namely Punjab, Sind, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunwa; a metropolitan area and federally administered tribal areas (FATA). Pakistan also has de facto authority over Gilgit-Baltistan and part of the Kashmir region. The capital Islamabad was built in the 1960s and is considered the greenest city in the country. Pakistan is an Islamic republic and has a parliamentary style ...

Murree, Rediscovering Nature

Image
Murree, the most developed and popular mountain station in Pakistan, is an hour's drive from Islamabad on a winding, high-quality Alpine road. The scenery is superb, the climate is cool in summer and crisp in winter, and the hotels are comfortable and reasonably priced. The location is especially known for honeymoon events. When the British annexed the Punjab in 1849, they soon decided to set up a mountain station because it was conveniently located near the important military canton of Rawalpindi. It was actually founded in 1851 on pastureland of a ridge and developed rapidly. Today it is Asia's leading hill country and crowded all year round. The long summer days are ideal for leisurely walks or ponies on a shaded path in the mall between Kashmir Point and Pindi Points. On the other hand, winter is famous for snowfall. You can enjoy a few activities such as chairlift, cable car, outdoor camping, horse riding, trekking, hiking and shopping. In Murree, structures...

The Spread of Monsoon Rain in Pakistan

Image
The rainfall in Pakistan caused by the monsoon system is highly unpredictable, variable and unreliable, causing flooding in some years and severe droughts in others. When we get a general picture of the rainfall of a monsoon, the first thing we notice is the unreliability of the rain in that country. Only a very narrow strip of land cover stations such as Lahore, Sialkot, Islamabad, Muzaffarabad, Murree, Abbotabad and Rawalakot receives steady rainfall. Otherwise, 90 percent of Pakistan will miss either the monsoon rains or very different precipitation, which leads to flooding, especially in the southern city of Karachi. The outer Himalayas, including the stations of Murree and Kashmir, has more than 50 inches of rainfall. Then turn to Islamabad / Rawalpindi stations and the Piedmontese plains of Punjab, including Sialkot. Central Punjab, including Lahore, receives 15-20. Below Lahore to the coast there is generally no significant rainfall. Also west of Lahore, the monso...
