*Pakistan* <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
The country of Pakistan, formally created on August 14, 1947, is in fact a
region with an astonishingly rich history of 4,000 years. The name Pakistan
means 'The Land of Pure People". Stretching from the Arabian Sea in the
south to mighty convergence of lofty peaks in the north, Pakistan stands at
one at one of the world's most important cultural crossroads.. Ruins, forts,
palaces and monuments of its great civilization abound. But the land today,
with about 140 million people, is living, vibrant, colorful place - complex,
rich in variety and immensely rewarding to the visitors. Pakistan is also
the 1st Islamic Atomic country <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
*Geography of Pakistan* <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
It is necessary here to look at Pakistan's geography, which so clearly
affected the movements of history across its face. Pakistan is 2,415 Km.
Long from north to south, stretching across the northwestern edge of
Indo-Pak subcontinent. Its axis is the great Indus River, the traditional
source of life for its people. The Indus and its tributaries drain the
entire country, except for the western desert region of Baluchistan, and its
waters create the largest irrigation system in the world.
To the west of Indus lies the huge, desert plateau of the province
Baluchistan, covering 44% of the country's surface
area.<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
*Mountain Ranges in Pakistan* <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
The most dramatic and fascinating aspect of Pakistan's geography is the
jumbled mass of mountains in the fart north. Here occurs a convergence of
the highest ranges in the world - Himalayas, Karakoram, Hindu Kush - and
within the country's border stand 13 of the 30 tallest peaks.
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
The Karakoram, confused by many people with Himalaya, is infect a separate
range, tightly packed by fantastically assembled along Pakistan's border
with China and India. The peak of K-2 is the second highest point on the
planet, surrounded by a spectacular array of glaciers, ice spires, snow and
giant mountains. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
The Himalaya Just south of the Karakoram, separated by the deep gorge of the
Indus, rise the Himalaya. Their western anchor is Nanga Parbat, second
highest peak in Pakistan and ninth in the world. It is the most infamous
killer of mountaineers, so also called the Killer
Mountain.<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
Even before the Iranian revolution and the Iran-Iraq and Afghan wars
throttled Asian overland travel, Pakistan tended to be seen as simply the
last hurdle before reaching India. Few Westerners know much about Pakistan
beyond media impressions of guns and drugs, communal violence and martial
law, but it contains some of Asia's most mind-blowing landscapes, a
multitude of cultures and a deeply hospitable people. It's the site of some
of the earliest human settlements, home to an ancient civilisation rivalling
those of Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the crucible of two of the world's major
religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Funzug/>
