About

This is a great place to give more details about me, as the Webmaster. I could give personal information about my family, my job, my education, and my hobbies and interests. I could also include a list of any of my favorite things.

Pakistan is a land of many splendors. The scenery changes northward from coastal beaches, lagoons and mangrove swamps to sandy deserts, desolate plateaus, fertile plains, dissected uplands and high mountains with beautiful vales, snow-covered peaks and eternal glaciers. This variety of landscape divides Pakistan into six major regions-the Northern High Mountainous Region, the Western Low Mountainous Region, the Potowar Uplands, the Balochistan Plateau, the Punjab Plain and the Sindh Plain.
