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...

Derawar Fort

From graveyards, we went straight to the Derawar fort, one of the archoelogical sites of the region. Despite its pathetic condition, Derawar is the only fort of all whose remnants are still intact to the place. Within and near fort are sites of a mosque, bazaar and the housing for imperial army;...

Graveyards of Nawabs

As grand as their lifestyle was, so are their last abodes of rest. Nawabs are a clear picture of honor and royalty. On our visit to the Cholistan dessert, we headed straight to the graves of Nawabs. Plus in our case was that our cousin is an army personnel that helped us getting the permission to...

A Trip to Cholistan Dessert

How can someone visit Bahawalpur and not visit the famous Derawar Fort during the stay? So we spared a whole day for exploring the Cholistan dessert especially the fort. We packed food, snacks, the very important “water” (each carrying his own waterbottle as well), umbrellas, pea caps etc. and we...

Khanaspur Waterfalls

Just like the other concealed spots of Khanaspur, the three waterfalls are also not known to many. We too only knew about two waterfalls only, as was told to us by people, unless we tracked down the source of the second waterfall and found the third waterfall there. 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,...

Khunjarab Pass

The place itself was as magical as its route was. Everything was frozen as if we were in a big deep freezer. We were on 7th sky there when the clouds were flowing along the road below our feet. One time it was all clear and the very next moment you can’t find the person standing at a two feet distance....

The Way to Khunjarab Pass

Today was the grand day of our trip, for today we had to touch the borders with China. Yes, you guessed it right! THE KHUNJARAB PASS. I’ve been super excited for two specific reasons; first, because I’ve never been at this height ever before and secondly because I heard about the snow there, and...

Attabad Lake

I am sure all you have already started imagining the picture of the lake, since it’s the most common and the most over-rated lake of the GB. I know it might have hurt your sentiments but I’ll be honest here. If not all, I still have visited enough lakes of the region and they all were breathtakingly...
