You'll leave Karachi after breakfast today and head to the metropolis of Hyderabad. The route takes you past the World Heritage site of Makli Hill, which is home to one of the world's largest necropolises, and the Shah Jahan Mosque in Thatta, which was erected during the golden age of Mughal architecture.

The trip continues from Hyderabad via the northwestern areas of Sindh province to the historic city of Larkana. Stops along the way at the shrines of the great Sufi saints Lal Shabaz Qalander and Abdul Latif Bhittai allow you to learn more about these revered mystics, philosophers, and poets before continuing on to your overnight stop in Larkana, on the banks of the Indus.

Larkana is home to one of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation's greatest and oldest villages. The Mohenjo-daro (Mound of the Dead) site was abandoned as early as the 19th century BC. Before moving on to Sukkur, you'll have the opportunity to see the Mohenjo-daro Museum, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If time allows, there may be an opportunity to attend the local market this evening upon arrival.

Today's journey brings you to Bahawalpur, which was previously part of an independent princely state formed in 1802 by Nawab Mohammad Bahawal Khan II. The road passes through Uch Sharif, which was founded by Alexander the Great in 325 BC at the confluence of the Indus and Chenab Rivers. The trek to Bahawalpur continues from here.

This morning, after breakfast, you will journey into the distant regions of the Cholistan Desert to explore the majestic setting of Derawar Fort. The castle, built by the Rajput Bhati, dominates the desert around it, with 40 towering bastions that reach more than 30 meters tall. Before returning to Bahawalpur for a second night, see the fort and the royal tombs of the Bahawalpur Nawabs.

A morning trip to Bahawalpur today allows you to see some of its historic and cultural landmarks, such as the Noor Mahal and the Farid Gate, which has a bustling local market. After leaving the city, you'll travel to Multan, which is located on the banks of the Chenab River.

Multan (Madinat-ul-Auliya) is known as the City of the Sufis or the City of the Saints, owing to the abundance of Sufi shrines sprinkled across the city. The shrines of Shah Rukn-i-Alam, Bhahuddin Zikria, and Shams Tabriz are among the structures you will see today. You will also have the opportunity to explore the Old Bazaar.

The journey from Multan then brings you to the capital of Punjab, Lahore, the largest Punjabi metropolis in the world. Stopping en route at the famed archaeological site of Harappa, you'll have the opportunity to see the ruins of a Bronze Age fortified city with origins dating back to 2600 BC. Later today, I'll arrive in Lahore.

Today, you can visit Lahore, the historic capital of both the Moghul and Sikh empires, as well as a city that played an important role in the British administration of the Punjab. Your tour today will include the rich collection of antiques and national history presented at the Lahore Museum, the striking Badshahi Mosque made from red sandstone, and the adjoining Lahore Fort. This afternoon, travel to Lahore's walled city to witness the hustle and bustle of daily life in this city. While strolling through the bustling bazaar, you may also see the beautiful and freshly refurbished Shahi Hammam and the Wazir Khan Mosque.

Lahore is a major center of Mughal architecture. Lahore, with its beautiful Islamic structures, dramatic remnants of British occupation, chaotic old city bazaar, and modern status, remains high on the list of Pakistan's must-see attractions, including the UNESCO World Heritage sites of the Jahangir Tomb and Shalimar Garden. This afternoon, continue on to the Wagah border, where you will join the patriotic crowds in witnessing the spectacular - and quite strange - Wagah Border Ceremony.

You will be driven to the airport in plenty of time for your next departure.
