Overview – Bahawalpur Tour
Bahawalpur, in Punjab, Pakistan, has a rich historical and cultural history. It was the capital of the former princely state of Bahawalpur before becoming a separate province. The city’s origins may be traced back to the Rajputana states, which are part of the historical region of Rajasthan, India. Bahawalpur is known for its magnificent palaces, which include the majestic Noor Mahal, the luxurious Sadiq Ghar Palace, and the enormous Darbar Mahal. These architectural marvels represent the city’s regal past while displaying a variety of architectural styles. The neighboring Derawar Fort, located in the immense Cholistan Desert, demonstrates Bahawalpur’s strategic importance. This historic fort, with its massive walls and bastions, provides an insight into the region’s rich history. Bahawalpur’s proximity to the medieval cities of Uch and Harappa enhances its attraction. Uch is associated with the Delhi Sultanate, whereas Harappa represents the archeological wonders of the Indus Valley Civilisation. In addition to its natural splendor, Bahawalpur is home to the Lal Suhanra National Park, a natural safari park that highlights the region’s unique fauna and allows nature lovers to enjoy its majesty.
