These areas are being acknowledged all over the world for the lush green valleys, beautiful lakes, mountains with their peaks touching the sky, and amazing wildlife. These places are no less than Paradise on Earth and have been a major attraction point for tourists. Let’s have a look at the wildest places where you cannot miss some serious adventure. Let’s wander around:
1. Gorakh Hill – Sindh
Gorakh Hill is the highest point in Sindh province of Pakistan which is at a height of 5668 feet. This is a strong attraction for many tourists due to its beautiful surroundings and elevations. Unluckily, Government hasn’t paid any interest in promoting this place by providing suitable facilities for the tourists. But many still go to enjoy and feel the flawless beauty.
2. Karachi Beaches
These beaches are a source of joy for all those who reside in Sindh’s capital. Go along and dip your toes in the cool water with some warm sand underneath it. Karachi beaches are a perfect place for a leisurely stroll in mid-day while at night, you can feel the cool watery breeze on your face. The main attraction of the beach is the beautiful blue shade of water which is so inviting. Those, who are not having the urge to wet themselves up, can have a short trip on the available boats out there for a closer view.
Fresh seafood is also being caught from there which is served hot to the food lovers. For children, there is a fun activity as well. They can take rides on horses and camels and experience the cool breeze around. Some of the beaches not to be missed are Cherna Island, Manora Island, Paradise Point, Cape Mount, Hawkes Bay, and Clifton Beach.
3. The Desert of Thar
The Thar Desert spans an area of 175,000 square kilometers and covers large areas of Pakistan and India. It is the largest desert in Pakistan and the only subtropical desert in Asia. It is the 16th largest desert on the planet and the third largest in Asia. It has also spread into India. The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large, arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent that forms a natural boundary between India and Pakistan. It is the world’s 16th largest desert and the world’s 9th largest subtropical desert. 85% of the Thar Desert is in India, and the remaining 15% is in Pakistan. In India, it covers 320,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi), of which 90% is in Rajasthan and extends into Gujarat, Punjab, and Haryana. In Pakistan, it spreads over Punjab and Sindh starting from Tharparkar District in the east. This desert consists of a very dry part, the Marusthali region, in the west, and a semi-desert region in the east with fewer sand dunes and slightly more precipitation.
This is a totally different area of Pakistan which comes in the Sindh district. It is basically a desert that occupies a large area. The plants and animals found in this region are not found elsewhere in the country. The Thar Desert resembles the Rajasthan desert of India having high hills of sand. People live in mud huts which form small villages spread all over the desert. Due to water deprivation, cactus plants and thorny bushes are the only plant types found there.
