Day 02Briefing at Ministry of Tourism & registration of members (mandatory). After briefing visit to Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad are situated at the edge of Potohar Plateau & 25 minutes apart by car. Rawalpindi was originally known as Fatehpur Boari. It was destroyed during 14th century by a Mughal invasion
& remained deserted for a number of years. 350 years ago,during the region of Emperor Jehangir, a Sikh Saint by the name of Rawal Jogi came to the deserted Fatehpur Boari & was instrumental in recreating the glory of the city. In appreciation the town became known as Rawalpindi. Today, Raja Bazaar, Saddar & Murree Road are the main shopping centers. The cantonment area created by the Britishers is comparatively a new establishment. It has a saddar Bazaar with modern shops & has subsequently become the hub of all shopping. Islamabad on the other hand,is a city that is barely a quarter century old. Two sleepy villages, Saidpur & Nurpur existed here prior to the sudden sprouting of buildings. This gleaming new capital of Pakistan is a superb example of modern architecture. Almost 350 square miles site has been set aside for parks.

Taxila Information. Located 35 miles from Rawalpindi, Taxila, was once the hub of oriental culture. Originating from the Satrapy of Achaemenian Empire in the 6th century it was subjugated by Alexander in 327 B.C and passed on
to the other rulers until it reached the hands of Ashoka the Great who molded this city into a center of philosophy, art & education. The creative Gandhara period flourished shortly thereafter and Taxila remained a prosperous city. It came to a disastrous end when sacked by the white Huns. Today, Taxila is an archaeologist's paradise. It contains a well maintained museum whose 8 mile circumference contains 8 archaeological sites.
