The Indus Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, was one of the world’s earliest urban civilizations. It flourished in the Indus River valley in what is now Pakistan and western India from about 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. The civilization was characterized by advanced urban planning, complex water management systems, and a sophisticated writing system that is yet to be fully deciphered. Archaeologists have been fascinated by this ancient civilization for over a century, and their research has revealed a wealth of information about the Indus people’s way of life, beliefs, and societal structures. A journey through the Indus Civilization is a journey through time, taking us back to a world that was vastly different from our own, yet one that had a significant impact on the development of human civilization
This tour concentrates on the diverse range of ancient civilizations and monuments in the Indus valley. These range from some
of the oldest cities in the world-Mohenjodaro and Harappa-to surprisingly little known monuments of the Islamic period, the glittering
Mogul royal city of Lahore, the blue glazed monuments of Multan and Uch Sharif, the former princely state of Bahawalpur on the edge of the Cholistan Desert, the immense desert fortress at Derawar and the even bigger one at Rohtas, or the extraordinarily decorated necropolis at Thatta. Your tour also catch the splendors of north Pakistan with visits to valleys like the legendary Hunza-Khunjerab Pass, Gilgit, Chilas and
Swat valley.
