Pakistan, officially Islamic Republic of Pakistan, republic in southern Asia, bounded on the north and northwest by Afghanistan, on the northeast by Jammu and Kashmir, on the east and southeast by India, on the south by the Arabian Sea, and on the west by Iran
Pakistan is a country rich in cultural heritage and human resources. It offers a great variety of scenery which changes southwards from the highest mountains of the world to the hills of fairly high altitude towards the west. The northern region offers wild rivers, beautiful valleys, snow covered peaks and eternal glaciers. There are dissected uplands and fertile plains in the middle, sandy desolate deserts and arid plateaus towards the south, sandy silver white coastal beaches, lagoons, mangrove swamps and sea in the extreme south. The best thing however is the people and their hospitality.
