About Pakistan

Geography:

Pakistan lies along the River Indus stretching over 2000 kilometers from the freezing heights of the Karakoram mountains in the north to the balmy beaches of the Arabian Sea in the south. The neighbours of Pakistan include China in the north, Afghanistan in the northwest, Iran in the west, and India in the east. It has an area of 796,096 sq. km.

Pakistan lies in the temperate zone. The climate is generally arid, characterized by hot summers and cool or cold winters, and wide variations between extremes of temperature at given locations. These generalizations should not, however, obscure the distinct differences existing among particular locations. For example, the coastal area along the Arabian Sea is usually warm, whereas the frozen snow-covered ridges of the Karakoram Range and other mountains of the far north are so cold year-round that they are only accessible to world-class climbers for a few weeks in May and June of each year.
