Mohenjo Daro

• Mohenjo Daro sat beneath the soil for thousands
  of years, a preserved relic of the ancient Indus
  Valley civilization. But excavation exposed the
  city to the elements, and now, says the
  Telegraph, the ruins may have as little as 20
  years left.

Baltit Fort

• Baltit Fort is the perfect example of this
  melding of defense and definition, and its
  notably Tibetan architecture makes it as curious
  as it is stunning. Still standing tall and
  imposing after more than 700 years, this
  14th-century fortress is a reminder of the lay of
  the land in northern Pakistan, both literally and
  figuratively, centuries ago.

4
Badshahi Mosque

• Badshahi Mosque was a symbol of power in the
  Mughal Empire. Cursed by its size and location,
  when the region was cast into civil war and
  overtaken by Sikhs, the mosque began a new
  history of exploitation for military purposes.

5
Rohtas Fort

• Rohtas Fort, built in the 16th century at a
  strategic site in the north of Pakistan, Province
  of Punjab, is an exceptional example of early
  Muslim military architecture in central and south
  Asia.

6
Lahore Fort and Shalamar Gardens

• The lush green Shalamar gardens are a great sight
  with beautiful fountains, lawns and
  constructions. It was constructed by the Mughal
  ruler Shah Jahan in 1942.

7
Noor Mahal

• It was built in 1875 by Nawab Sir Muhammad Sadiq,
  the 5th Nawab of Bahawalpur at the princely cost
  of Rs 1.2 million. It has 32 rooms and six
  verandahs but was never used as a residence by
  the family.

8
Makli

• One of the places in Pakistan I wish I would have
  had more time to explore was Makli Necropolis.
  Its one of the largest funerary sites in the
  world and it spreads over an area of 10 square
  kilometers.

9
Taxila

• Taxila, located in the Rawalpindi district of
  Pakistans Punjab province, is a vast serial site
  that includes a Mesolithic cave and the
  archaeological remains of four early settlement
  sites, Buddhist monasteries, and a Muslim mosque
  and madrassa.

10
Princess of Hope

• Princess of Hope is a natural rock formation that
  manifests a princess looking beyond horizons
  (maybe for hope). The sea breeze coming from the
  Arabian Sea has worked for many years an expert
  craftsman to carve this beautiful sculpture.
  Princess of Hope stands high in the mountain
  range along with Makran Coastal Highway,
  Baluchistan.
