Pakistan – The Land of All Seasons

Pakistan is situated just at the right place for varying climatic conditions and nature has bestowed it with an exclusive quality that one can have all four seasons at the same time in Pakistan. Entering Karachi, at any time of the year, one would feel almost the same sort of weather that is associated with almost all coastal cities of the world. The weather is a little humid during the winter season and the cool sea breeze keeps the temperature low during the summer season. Moving North the Sindh province remains extremely hot during the summer season and pleasantly cold the winter season.

The plains of Punjab give a perfect combination of heat and cold in all seasons and all these seasons just add to the fertility of this food depot of the country. Lahore has both the extreme hot weather in the summer season with temperature reaching as high as 46 degrees Celsius while the same city gets a temperature of -2 degrees in the winters. Monsoon rains make the plains of Punjab fertile and the rivers flowing through it add to the productivity of this fertile land. That is why Punjab produces the best citrus fruit and rice in the world. Pakistan is the largest producer of citrus fruit in the world and the quality of production in this region is one of the finest in the world.

The northern areas of Pakistan are mountainous regions with some of the highest peaks of the world in the Himalayan ranges including the second highest mountain peak of the world that is the Mount Goodwin Austin, famously known as the K-2. Murree, a beautiful mountain range was called as the Queen of Mountains in the Colonial era.

Bahria Town Lahore: The Best in the Business

Pakistan’s security issues had been haunting the nation for the last few years, however, Bahria town Lahore has almost eradicated the issue by giving a modern security system that comprises of high quality personnel who are fully equipped and constantly keep patrolling their given areas. Pakistan that was gripped in law and order problems has been shown a way to control it by Bahria Town Lahore which is a great service by the developers to the nation.

Bahria Town has also provided a solution to the ongoing energy crises of the country by successfully putting into practice the use of solar energy and thus has got rid of the problem. There are no electricity outages in the society as the society maintains its own system of producing electricity and thus has been able to provide uninterrupted power supply to the residents, which, these days is a dream of every Pakistani as in other parts of the city, there is around 8 to 12 hours load shedding a day.

Bahria Town successfully claims to be the innovator of global standard facility providing in Pakistan real estate. Initially Bahria Town did not get much success in the 1990s, however, after a paradigm shift in the policy, Bahria Town developers decided to make it the first society of Pakistan that provides lifestyle living to its residents, and the strategy went successful as Bahria Town plots prices shot up. The society has shown sustenance during the recession period.

The society gives global standard lifestyle by providing Golf course, universities, hospitals, cricket grounds, basketball courts, tennis turfs and badminton courts in sectors of Bahria Town. Lahore is a huge city with over 10 million population and the distances in Lahore are too long. Bahria Town Lahore has set up its own transport system with buses taking the passengers to all parts of the city. This bus service has really facilitated the residents as most new societies are normally cut off from the main city but Bahria Town bus service covers this gap up.

The society is one of the finest in the city and is expanding noticeably. It has extended to other cities as well and Bahria Town Rawalpindi and Islamabad are also making headlines in real estate business of those cities. Bahria developers are also developing DHA Valley Islamabad in collaboration with DHA and certainly they have left their mark in Pakistan Real Estate business by giving sublime residential facilities over the years.

Lahore – Ready to Shine on the Face of the Globe

It has been a slogan of all political parties that they would make Lahore into a Paris or a London if they are brought into power by the Lahorites. This dream however is now coming true as the Lahore Development Authority has taken up huge projects in the city and is hell bent on making it one of the top international cities of the world. Lahore is fast evolving into becoming the business centre of the country. The construction projects of Lahore have made the eyes of investors across the country and even abroad on the city.

Ring road has been made on the outlines of the mega city that has helped the transporters as well as the investors who do not have to spend so much now on the fuel as previously heavy transport had to move into the city. It has also helped in traffic management of this second largest city of Pakistan. Another good that this project has done to the city is that it has further boosted Lahore Real Estate because the property prices of the areas close to Ring road, Lahore have increased manifolds.

The completion of Saggian interchange, Kalma Chowk overhead bridge and Muslim town overhead bridge in record time has lives easier for the public as well as the traffic controllers. According to a report, average 427,000 vehicles daily pass Ferozepur Road that is the main business highway of the city. The fuel losses on the three stops Muslim Town Chowk, Ichra and Canal Bridge was around 2.1 billion a year while the Muslim town overhead bridge was completed only in Rs. 2 billion which will save billions for the next 80 years for the nation.

Yet another huge project is of Rapid Transit System that is being launched with the cooperation of the friendly country of Turkey. This mass transit system will begin from Shahdrah Town that is the Southern end of the city and will end up in Chungi Amr Sidhu that is the Northern end of the city. This facility will further boost the economic activities in the city and will also be a huge benefit for the passengers. It is an addition to the government’s policy of providing people with respectable and cheap transport facilities.

The BRB Canal that flows through Lahore is the most attractive part of the city, but unfortunately, previously there were no side-grills on its sides and that caused a number of accidents, so the government has erected it now and that has completely eradicated the problem. A number of buses that have been imported from China have made the public transport system a respectable way of traveling for the passengers.

The Lahore has completely turned on its head within a span of only three or four years and the long-sighted dream of Lahorites to live in Lahore and enjoy the flavor of Paris is finally becoming a reality. The blend of rich heritage and culture, thriving business and economy and the international standard lifestyle make the famous Lahorites’ slogan look more realistic that, ”Lahore Lahore aey” (Lahore is Lahore).

DHA Lahore: A Name of Supremacy

DHA Lahore was launched in 1975 and being first of its kind has maintained its brand equity ever since through the elegance and quality of services that this pioneer of real estate innovation in Pakistan provides. With the most advanced security system provided by this society, DHA Lahore was basically set up for the army personnel but as it provided the superlative degree of facilities to its residents, its popularity grew like wildfire and soon the authorities decided to open it for the general public and today almost nine phases have been completed while the tenth is about to be announced soon.

In the mid 2000s Pakistan real estate saw a boom so Lahore DHA cashed on its name too and hundreds of hectares around the DHA were bought from the owners at high prices to expand Defence Housing Authority Lahore. This not only was of great help for the residents and agricultural land owners of the adjacent areas but also those safe playing investors who want to invest only on cash cows and DHA that is a brand of success paid them back multifold. This society provides the best quality of services for its residents with broad roads, beautiful parks, easily accessible markets and international standard security system.

Lahorites love recreation and for them DHA provides DHA cinema halls, restaurants, shopping malls and plazas and parks picnics and jogging. Defence Club is one of the most popular destinations among youth in Lahore as music concerts are held here. Some of these concerts feature superstars while most of them are organized by colleges and universities and underground bands of Lahore perform their art in those concerts.

Transportation facilities are excellent with buses joining DHA with all important parts of the city while green belts give the driver’s eyes a pleasing effect when he drives on those skillfully carved carpeted roads and the well kept clean sideways give pedestrian a satisfying feeling.

Lahore real estate is the best performing market in Pakistan while DHA Lahore is the crown of this city’s real estate. Real estate businessmen cannot have a better place to invest their money in if they are looking for guaranteed profits.

Nature’s Beauty Speaks through Pakistan

Pakistan is a land of all seasons with chilling winters, humid summers, flowery springs and crispy autumns. With blazing land features that stay in one’s eyes forever once he gets a view of them, this part of the Earth was certainly given special attention by the Creator. If one starts moving from South to North, there is not a single place where he should blink his eyes as any scene of the magical beauty of this country should not be missed at any cost.

Karachi, in the South of the country, is the business hub of the country situated at the shore the Arabian Sea. Tall buildings, restaurants, delightful architecture, large shopping malls, zoological parks, roads, bridges and traffic make it the busiest and largest city of the country. Move to North and you find Hyderabad, Sehoun, Larkana, Ghotki, Nawabshah; all the very favorites of Sufi saints and preachers of the region.

 In the West of Karachi the Cape Muari (Cape Monde) marks the border of the Sind province with Balochistan, another God-gifted place on the face of the globe. Desert is the dominating feature of this province and as Paulo Coelho says in “The Alchemist” desert teaches man more than any other thing on Earth, the people of Balochistan are wise and witty. Mountains and plateaus of the region and the evidences found from the desert prove that the land on which Balochistan rests today was once part of the sea and that is why scientists have predicted that the inner of this province is filled with mineral wealth.

While if we move towards North, after crossing the Sind, land of the Saints, we will enter into the plains of Punjab. This land of five rivers is the largest province of Pakistan with a population more than almost all the countries in the Europe; this province is the food depot of the country. With the land perfectly suitable for farming and supplied with enough water from the rivers and one of the finest canal system in the world, Punjab produces food for the entire country. From the deserts of Cholistan in the Bahawalpur region to the city of saints, Multan one moves into the Central Punjab where Lahore shines as the cultural and historical capital of the country and Faisalabad as the Manchester of Pakistan. It is interesting to note here that despite all the economic problems that the world is going through Lahore real estate is still prospering. Here we also find Gujranwala, where food is life and life is food and Gujrat, the literal camp of the Muslim journalism in British India. Moving north we pass Sialkot, where the finest of the sports goods is produced and exported all over the world. For years, FIFA used Sialkot made footballs in all international events.

Further north we start moving into the mountains. Crossing the hills and Lake of Kallar Kahaar, we enter the historic trade route of the Central Asians into India, Rawalpindi. On the left is the road to the province of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa where we find some of the most astonishing creativity of nature when we move into Swat valley and through it we go on to see the heavens on Earth, the Naraan, Kaghaan and Kalaam and there you find the jewel of Pakistan “Saif-ul-Malook”. And had we moved right we would enter the capital of the country, Islamabad, which stands at the foot of the Margalla hills. This city was developed to be the capital of Pakistan in 1950s and 60s and has the most advanced infrastructure among all the cities of the country.

From there we move towards Murree road and that is where the mighty Himalayas begin as we enter the “Queen of Mountains” of the colonial era, Murree. Bhurban is at 45 minutes drive from Murree, where one of the finest hotels of the country Pearl Continental Hotel is situated. Try and sit in the terrace of one of the rooms in the hotel after sunset to view the small lights lit in the houses on the mountain. You’d feel nostalgic.

Keep moving north as the mountains mount further to see the dazzling sites of Karakoram ranges in Gilgit Baltistan and see the glaciers of Hunza and Siachin Glacier to finally catch the site of Mount Goodwin Austin (K-2), the second highest mountain peak of the world with a height of approximately 8.5 kilometers.

This country gives everything to a tourist that one can ever desire for. From the sea and the desert to the highest mountain peaks of the world and the valleys and rivers making their way through them, there is nothing that a nature lover should miss. Despite the recession that has hit all the world Pakistan might be the only country today that has a favorable market for real estate investment. Multinational companies continue to invest in Pakistan yet it is a fact the true potential of this market has not been utilized until now. With around 20 million population of this sixth largest country of the world, Pakistani market is so wide and diversified that it can produce wonders if is pierced through once. And if tourism flourishes and market opened for international investment, Pakistan can become tourists’ delight.
