It is a land enriched by friendly people and magnificent landscapes. Opportunity for adventure is as high as its mighty mountain ranges, with watersports, mountaineering and trekking all popular and rewarding activities.</div> <div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> Coupled with this is a profound sense of cultural concoction, Pakistan once being home to several ancient civilisations, and witness to the rise and fall of dynasties.</div> <div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> In ancient times, the area that now comprises Pakistan marked the farthest reaches of the conquests of Alexander the Great. It was also the home of Buddhist Ghandaran culture. It was the independence of India in 1947 that catalysed Pakistan's nationhood. Under pressure from Indian Muslims, the British created a separate Muslim state. Originally, it consisted of two parts, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and West Pakistan (now a single unitary state).</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KmaMY-ZB1t6nPT3FOPNGgmQ4b7XZxWNhtm0o05tFd3-d6zNdsFBNiALRztKiZUaR4rzamS0llasR6aek7U_yEVZTMSIj-lQrqafKjHLZwpfd1Xx_ve_LR4xwcry9PgrkhBqA-OUI7Q/s1600/mountains-of-kashmir-paki-6194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KmaMY-ZB1t6nPT3FOPNGgmQ4b7XZxWNhtm0o05tFd3-d6zNdsFBNiALRztKiZUaR4rzamS0llasR6aek7U_yEVZTMSIj-lQrqafKjHLZwpfd1Xx_ve_LR4xwcry9PgrkhBqA-OUI7Q/s320/mountains-of-kashmir-paki-6194.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 5px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">    Following military rule and civil war, Bangladesh became independent, truncating Pakistan. Today, the long-running Indo-Pakistan conflict continues, with the status of Kashmir at its heart. Although it has a majority Muslim population, Kashmir became part of India in 1947. Pakistan's landscape is as fractured and unsettled as its history.</div> </div>

With an astounding collective love of art, architecture and good old fashioned romance - as well as a heady new rap scene - the city has so many dimensions that you're going to have to prioritize. Luckily for you, you'd have to make a real effort not to see something a bit more special than your everyday city. The French capital is intellectual and classy, home to arguably the world’s most prestigious cuisine, and spattered liberally with instantly recognizable landmarks and strikingly memorable sites.</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #282828; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">The arrival of three big Asian luxury groups over the past year – in the form of the Shangri-La Paris, the Royal Monceau Raffles and the Mandarin Oriental – has shaken up the seemingly timeless order of Parisian grand hotels. Rivalling each other in terms of spacious suites, exclusive spa treatments and gastronomic restaurants, they give Paris some of the most luxurious, and priciest, rooms in the world.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span id="wikiDescriptionMore" style="display: inline;"> </span></span></div>
