Ushering the mighty Indus River from the snow-clad peaks of the Karakorams to the warm waters of the Arabian sea, Pakistan is home to a civilization as old as ancient Egypt - yet is a key player in daily headlines. It is an Islamic republic guided by a resurgent faith, but whose heart still stirs to the wail of bagpipes. Here the traveler finds a variety of landscapes, of peoples, of architectures, and of bazaar bargains worthy of a country twice its size.
