A leap into the unknown Pakistan

Pakistan is full of beautiful and historical places. My parents planed a trip of Lahore in vocations. I visited Lahore fort, Badshahi mosque was impressive. Next day we also visited the Pakistan Minar and then on to Jahangir’s tomb. It was not in great shape. Next to it was the tomb of Mumtaj Mahal’s (Taj mahal is named after her) father which was crumbling down. We wanted to visit the tomb of Nur Jahan but the road leading to the tomb was closed so we cannot visit this place. Near afternoon, we went to Wagah border to witness the closing ceremony of the border gates. The road leading to Wagah is quite bad in certain areas, we reached there after one and a half hour. Watching the ceremony was fun and we enjoy a lot there. After that we did some shopping from anar kali bazzar, a very famous place of shopping in Lahore. Lahore had the cheapest and most delicious street food. For having dinner we visit food street. We found here every traditional dish of Pakistani culture. We tried many dishes, all are very delicious and be prepared quickly with in twenty mints. Then very next day, we returned back to sweet home. Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Lahore very much. The food was great, the shopping was excellent.
