Bahawalpur

Overview

Introduction

On the edge of the Cholistan Desert, Bahawalpur has interesting forts, a museum, royal palaces and beautiful paper-thin black-clay pottery. Also, visit the Lal Suhanra National Park (22 mi/36 km east of town), which has lakes and a 77,480-acre/31,360-hectare forest. Also nearby are the beautiful Sufi shrines of Uch Sharif (the Tomb of Bibi Jawindi should not be missed). We suggest a two-night stay. 280 mi/450 km south of Islamabad.
