Pakistan Tourism
Development Corporation (PTDC)
From the mighty stretches of the Karakorams in the North to the vast alluvial delta of the
Indus River in the South, Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and nature.
Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and
desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing and bird watching, are a few activities, which entice the adventure
and nature lovers to Pakistan.
Pakistan is endowed with a rich and varied flora and fauna. High Himalayas,
Karakoram and the Hindukush ranges with their alpine
meadows and permanent snow line, coniferous forests down the sub-mountain
scrub, the vast Indus plain merging into the great desert, the coast line and
wetlands, all offer a remarkably rich variety of vegetation and associated
wildlife including avifauna, both endemic and migratory. Ten of 18 mammalian
orders are represented in Pakistan with species ranging from the world's
smallest surviving mammals, the Mediterranean Pigmy Shrew, to the largest
mammal ever known the blue whale.
