From the mighty stretches of the Karakoram in the north to the vast alluvial delta of the Indus River in the south, Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and nature. Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing and bird watching are a few activities which entice the adventure and nature lovers to Pakistan.
Pakistan has a rich and varied flora and fauna. High Himalayas, Karakoram and Hindukush ranges with their alpine meadows and permanent snow line, coniferous forests down the sub-mountain scrub, the great Indus plain merging into the great desert, along the coastline and wetlands, all offer a remarkably rich variety of vegetation and associated wildlife including avifauna, both endemic and migratory. Ten of 18 mammalian orders are represented in Pakistan with species ranging from the world's smallest surviving mammals, the Mediterranean pigmy shrew to the largest mammal ever known, the blue whale.
