Bahawalpurilicious
Diamond in the Rough
Heaving a heritage spanning hundreds of years, Bahawalpur is dusty jewel embedded in the heart of Pakistan. Surprsingly approachable via air, it’s a beautiful destination very easily overlooked by both locals and foreign tourists. A definite must-see!
I’m not going to rant about the beauty of this place as they pictures say more than my meagre and unworthy thousand words. I do have to say that after a long time I actually felt like a tourist. You know, the feeling when you turn around to see a vista that takes your breath away… that’s tourism! The moment they ignited The Fire Palace with electricity . The sensational sea of dyed rainbows in the Chunri Bazaar. The last step before I saw the Masjid Al-Sadiq peeking through its marble arch like a squatting behemoth. The vision of a galaxy of colours i.e. Truck Art rolling behind you on the open road.
All that and more… is Bahawalpur. Beautiful Bahawalpur.

u r a nice photographer. The mosque an d the palace has been captured very well. I was planning for a travelogue. Bhawalpur is a must now esp. for The Fire Palace.
Wow. Someone else who visited Bahawalpur. I suspect your experience was very different from mine, given that I couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there after a fortnight.
