The Pakistan Flag

The Pakistan Flag was designed by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.

Historically, the Pakistan Flag has associations the the flag which was hoisted at Dhaka on December 30,1906, when a meeting of the leaders representing the various Muslim political organizations of the South Asia subcontinent was held and the All- India Muslim League was formed. The flag used at Dhaka was green in colour with a white crescent and star in the centre.In the forty years of political struggle that followed the meeting at Dhaka, this flag was used continuously by the Muslim League. When these aspirations were fulfilled and Pakistan was established, it was felt that it would be in  the fitness of things to incorporate the motif of this flag into the National Flag of Pakistan.

The Himalayas

Stretching in the northern most territory of the country, from east to west, are a series of high mountain ranges which separate Pakistan from China, Russia and Afghanistan. They include the Himalayas, the Karakoram and the Hindukush mountains. With the assemblage of 33 giant peaks over 24,000 ft. (7,315 m), the region is the climber's paradise. Many summits are even higher than 26,000 ft. (7,925 m) and the highest K-2 (Mt. Godwin Austin) at 28,250 ft (8,610 m) is exceeded only by Everest. Inhospitable and technically more difficult to climb than even Everst, they have taken the biggest toll of human lives in the annals of mountaineering. The Karakoram Highway that passes through the mountains is the highest trade route in the world.

Land and People

Pakistan is a land of many splendors. The scenery changes northward from coastal beaches, lagoons and mangrove swamps to sandy deserts, desolate plateaus, fertile plains, dissected uplands and high mountains with beautiful vales, snow-covered peaks and eternal glaciers. This variety of landscape divides Pakistan into six major regions- the Northern High Mountainous Region, the Western Low Mountainous Region, the Potwar Uplands, the Baluchistan Plateau, the Punjab Plain and the Sindh Plain.
