About this web-site: This web-site was conceived and developed by Dr. Shahid A.Rajput in 1998. It was a big challenge when there were hardly couple of official web-sites available and those too far from culture, cultural heritage or cultural tourism to take inspiration from. The site depicts the places of historic interest and natural beauty in Pakistan. Few glimpses of folk culture and tradition are also included in this web-site. Links are also provided to other related web-sites and efforts are underway to improve the web-site further. It is encouraging to see that there are quite a few web-sites now depicting the culture, cultural heritage and cultural tourism of Pakistan drawing inspiration from this web-site. We are grateful to all those who sent their comments over a period of time for the improvement of this web-site. Every one is welcome and encouraged to send comments for Further improvement of this web-site provided that the comments are well conceived and constructive. |
