Pakistan
/ Geography
Located in
South Asia, Pakistan shares an eastern border with India and a
north-eastern border with China. Iran makes up the country's south-west
border, and Afghanistan runes along its western and northern edge.
The Arabian Sea is Pakistan's southern boundary with 1,064 km
of coastline.
The country
as a total area of 803,940 sq km with a land area of 778,720 sq
km and is nearly four times the size of the United Kingdom. From
Gwadar Bay in it's south-eastern corner, the country extends more
than 1,800 km to the Khunjerab Pass on China's border.
Pakistan
is a land of many splendours. The scenery changes northward from
coastal beaches, lagoons and mangrove swamps in the south to sandy
deserts, desolate plateaus, fertile plains, dissected upland in
the middle and high mountains with beautiful valleys, snow-covered
peaks and eternal glaciers in the north.
