2. Mohenjo DaroMohenjo Daro
Mohenjo Daro sat beneath the soil for thousands of years, a preserved relic of the ancient Indus Valley
civilization. But excavation exposed the city to the elements, and now, says the Telegraph, the ruins may have
as little as 20 years left.

3. Baltit Fort
Baltit Fort is the perfect example of this melding of defense and definition, and its notably Tibetan
architecture makes it as curious as it is stunning. Still standing tall and imposing after more than 700 years,
this 14th-century fortress is a reminder of the lay of the land in northern Pakistan, both literally and
figuratively, centuries ago.

4. Badshahi Mosque
Badshahi Mosque was a symbol of power in the Mughal Empire. Cursed by its size and location, when the
region was cast into civil war and overtaken by Sikhs, the mosque began a new history of exploitation for
military purposes.

5. Rohtas Fort
Rohtas Fort, built in the 16th century at a strategic site in the north of Pakistan, Province of Punjab, is an
exceptional example of early Muslim military architecture in central and south Asia.

6. Lahore Fort and Shalamar Gardens
The lush green Shalamar gardens are a great sight with beautiful fountains, lawns and constructions. It
was constructed by the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan in 1942.

7. Noor Mahal
It was built in 1875 by Nawab Sir Muhammad Sadiq, the 5th Nawab of Bahawalpur at the princely cost of
Rs 1.2 million. It has 32 rooms and six verandahs but was never used as a residence by the family.

8. Makli
One of the places in Pakistan I wish I would have had more time to explore was Makli Necropolis. It’s one
of the largest funerary sites in the world and it spreads over an area of 10 square kilometers.

9. Taxila
Taxila, located in the Rawalpindi district of Pakistan’s Punjab province, is a vast serial site that includes a
Mesolithic cave and the archaeological remains of four early settlement sites, Buddhist monasteries, and a
Muslim mosque and madrassa.

10. Princess of Hope
Princess of Hope is a natural rock formation that manifests a princess looking beyond horizons (maybe for
hope). The sea breeze coming from the Arabian Sea has worked for many years an expert craftsman to
carve this beautiful sculpture. Princess of Hope stands high in the mountain range along with Makran
Coastal Highway, Baluchistan.
