Tourist Map of Punjab
Being the “grainhouse” of India, Punjab is popular for its superior quality wheat and rice grains. The climate is rigid with its winters cold and frosty, and its nights temperature sometimes dropping as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is important to note that although Punjab is void of the advantages of a coastline, this has not stopped it from becoming the most industrialized province of Pakistan--manufacturing a rich array of textiles, sports goods, machinery, electrical appliances, surgical instruments, metals, bicycles and rickshaws, floor coverings, and processed foods. |

Although it has a very dry climate, extensive irrigation makes it a rich agricultural region. A British-established canal-irrigation system—the largest in the world—keeps its crops of rice, sugarcane, millet, corn, oilseeds, pulses, fruits, and vegetables in excellent quality.
Despite the land's lack of natural resources, it's managed to keep itself in tip top shape, a quality worth examining in the form of a great vacation destination. |
