The area that forms the present day Pakistan was once home to Indus Valley civilization and scene of action of two of the world's major religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. The modern state of Pakistan (with two sections West and East) was born out of the partition of the British India in 1947. As the partition itself was unsatisfactory, it entered into three wars with India. The third war resulted in the emergence of Bangladesh (East Pakistan) as an independent nation.

The dispute over the state of Kashmir between Pakistan and India is still unresolved and sometimes leads to the escalation of tensions between the two neighbours. In recent times discussions and confidence-building measures have resulted in the ease of tensions between the countries.

Travel overview
Travel in Pakistan is as rewarding as it is challenging. The country's archeological sites, scenic beauty and its cultures and people and an exotic wildlife leave those who visit unaffected. Lahore and other historic towns still show glimpses of lost glories. The best of Pakistan is its countryside, and in particular the mountain scenery. The Karakoram Highway is a scenic delight.

Prime tourists attractions in the country include the Indus Valley sites of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. The beautiful Badshahi Mosque built in Mughal style is one of the largest mosques in the world. The Chaukundi Graveyards is famous for their wonderful tombs and mausoleums that are covered.. For the wildlife enthusiasts, the Khunjerab Pass located in Khunjerab National Park has exotic wildlife on view, along with the Nathiagali forests and Takht-i-Bahi ruins.
