Central Library Bahawalpur

On the third day of our visit, we went to the central library of Bahawalpur to do some research on our project. When we reached there, we were sooo impressed by its mesmerizing and magnanimous architecture and the over all grooming of the place. We were not disappointed by visiting from the inside...

The Grand Palaces of Nawabs

On our way back from the fort, we planned to visit the Sadiqgarh Mahal, one of the many palaces of Nawabs. It’s all white with typical architectural design of nawabs. This palace is not that well maintained comparatively. There was a time when Ghilaf-e-Ka’ba was prepared there, and the old ones were...

From graveyards, we went straight to the Derawar fort, one of the archoelogical sites of the region.

It is indeed a miraculous place...

Khanaspur

Khanaspur is one of the places of Galiyaat region, not known to many. It is hidden in the vicinity of Ayubia in a way that one cannot easily find the place. You need to discover that off route road leading to this gem of a place until you’ve already visited the place. The air is fresh, of course,...
