Welcome to Pakistan – The Land Near to Nature:
A trip through the heart of Pakistan will ensure a fascinating experience to a land which has withstood countless invasions and battles fought, which can now be witnessed mostly in form of present day monuments and archaeological heritage. Seeing is believing, the excavated sites of Mohenjodaro and Harappa counterplotting the era of before Christ  to the heritage ranging from the Legendary Macedonian & Greek Alexander III and the Great Mughal Emperors, Pakistan now has been modified into one of the growing economies of the modern day world.

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.

Pakistan is blessed with four seasons: a cool, dry winter from December through February; a hot, dry spring from March through May; the summer rainy season, or southwest monsoon period, from June through September; and the retreating monsoon period of October and November. The onset and duration of these seasons vary somewhat according to location.

The climate in the capital city of Islamabad varies from an average daily low of 2° C in January to an average daily high of 40° C in June. Half of the annual rainfall occurs in July and August, averaging about 255 millimeters in each of those two months.
