Pakistan - Multan

Multan is 5th largest city of Pakistan, it is the center of Southern Punjab. The city was known for Saints, Dust & Beggars in the past. This may be true in the olden days but it definitely is a different city these days.

Multan has always enjoyed a great importance in the history. Somehow its people have attracted the Sufi saints so much that it became the abode of Sufism in South east Asia. Multan is known to be the oldest living city in south east Asia, the city had existed in 325BC when Alexander the great came.

Today Multan is a combination of old and the new Pakistan culture. There is a big hustle bustle in the Old town and comfort of a five star hotel and sound streets in the New city. The Old (Purana Shehar) city has a very interesting Bazaar and many elaborately decorated Shrines of the Sufi saints. For a tour of Multan one has to give at least one full day. There are regular flight from all major cities of Pakistan to Multan, beside Trains and Road. Most Itineraries of Multan are combined with Bahawalpur & Uch Sharief.

From Multan one can start off for the adventures in the Cholistan desert and adventures in the rivers of Punjab like sailing in Chenab and camping along the banks of the river gives an extremely close look at the beautiful culture of Punjab
