Birds

Pakistan has 195 mammal species (including 13

sub-species) of which six are endemic. There
are 668 bird species, of which 25 are
endangered. The reptile species are 177 in
number of which 13 are endemic species. The

screw-shaped horns, is considered to be the

Allah. Allah loves all animals. Animals exist for

In Pakistan we have 666 different recorded

Jasmine was named the national flower of
Pakistan. In Midh Ranjha a very large, old and

LBeauty of landscapes

No one knows the world like G Adventures—and in

this, we have our 11 world’s most beautiful landscapes,
along with helpful information for travellers who want to
see them for themselves. Compiled with shots from G
Adventures photographers, this spans the globe to
highlight the world's most famous and lesser known places.
Join us on a journey to the planet's most breathtaking places and celebrate the world's most
magnificent landscapes.

1. Cordillera del Paine, Chile

Glacial forces have sculpted a beautiful

landscape in the Cordillera, dominated by
the Torres Del Paine, whose mountains are
separated by small valleys. Its massive summits
are gigantic granite monoliths and UNESCO
biosphere reserves.

 2. Elephant Island, Antarctica

Most famous as the desolate refuge of Ernest

Shackleton and his crew in 1916, Elephant
Island is an ice-covered mountainous island off
the coast of Antarctica in the outer reaches of
the South Shetland Islands in the Southern
Ocean.

3. Dettifoss, Iceland

Reputed to be the most powerful in all of Europe,

Dettifoss is the largest waterfall in Northeast Iceland. Set
within stark, rocky surrounds with bone-shatteringly sheer
drops on either side, there couldn´t be a more fitting
backdrop for its untethered power.

4. Scottish Highlands, Scotland

A beautiful and inspiring region of ancient

landscapes with a fascinating history,
the Scottish Highlands is a culturally distinct
region influenced by a turbulent history, and
magnificent nature and geograph.

5. Grand Canyon, USA
One of the world's seven natural wonders,
the Grand Canyon attains a depth of over a
mile. Cutting its way through layer after layer of
rock, the Colorado River and its tributaries have
laid bare nearly two billion years of Earth's
geological history
6. Machu Picchu, Peru
Often referred to as ‘The Lost City of the
Incas’, Machu Picchu is perhaps the most
familiar icon of the Inca World. It is situated
above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, 80 km
northwest of Cuzco and through which the
Urubamba River flows.
7. Peyto Lake, Canada
Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake located in
the Canadian Rockies. During the summer,
significant amounts of glacial rock flow into the
lake, and these suspended particles give the
lake its bright, turquoise colour

back of the waterfall.

9. Northern Lights, Various

The Northern Lights are among the most

spectacular phenomena on earth, appearing
only at high latitudes on dark nights from
September to March. Lucky stargazers can
witness anything from an ethereal green glow
on the horizon to pulsating scarlet streaks
across the sky.

10. Iguassu Falls, Argentina/Brazil

Wider than Victoria Falls and taller than

Niagara, Iguassu Falls are set in the tropical
jungles near the 3-way border between Brazil,
Argentina and Paraguay. Iguassu is one of those
places that needs to be seen to be believed.

The Galápagos Islands and their surrounding
waters form the Galápagos Province of Ecuador,
the Galápagos National Park, and the Galápagos
Marine Reserve. The principal language on the
islands is Spanish. The islands have a population
of slightly over 25,000.[1]
Volcanism has been continuous on the
Galápagos Islands for at least 20 million years,
and perhaps even longer.
. The shape of these volcanoes is tall and
rounded as opposed wide and smooth in the
Hawaiian Islands. The Galápagos's shape is due
to the pattern of radial and
circumferential fissure, radial on the flanks, but
circumferential near the caldera summits. It is
the circumferential fissures

which give rise to stacks of short lava flows

Iguazu Fall

Iguazú Falls or Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of

the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentine
province of Misiones and the Brazilian
state of Paraná. Together, they make up

system in the world. The falls divide the river

into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu
River rises near the heart of the city of Curitiba.
For most of its course, the river flows through
Brazil; however, most of the falls are on the
Argentine side. Below its confluence with the
the largest San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms the
waterfall border between Argentina and Brazil.

Victoria Falls

While it is neither the highest nor the widest

waterfall in the world, the Victoria Falls are
classified the largest, based on its combined
width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft)[6] and height of
108 metres (354 ft),[7] resulting in t

world's largest sheet of falling water. The

Victoria Falls are roughly twice the height of
North America's Niagara Falls and well over
twice its width.

12
For a considerable distance upstream from the
falls, the Zambezi flows over a level sheet
of basalt, in a shallow valley, bounded by low
and distant sandstone hills. The river's course is
dotted with numerous tree-covered islands,
which increase in number where the river
approaches the falls. There are no
mountains, escarpments, or deep valleys; only a
flat plateau extending hundreds of kilometres in
all directions.  Victoria Falls is facing the
worst drought in a century. The basalt plateau
of Victoria Falls, over which the Zambezi
River flows, was formed during the Jurassic Era,
around 200 million years ago.

13
 Angel Falls

Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest waterfall on land,

is 3 times shorter than the Denmark Strait cataract,
and Niagara Falls carries 2,000 times less water, even
during peak flows.

SOME BEAUTIFUL WATERFALLS WORLDWIDE:

Pamukkale's terraces

Pamukkale’s terraces are made of travertine, a

sedimentary rock deposited by mineral water
from the hot

14
springs. In this area, there are 17 hot springs
with temperatures ranging from 35 °C (95 °F) to
100 °C (212 °F). The water that emerges from
the spring is transported 320 metres (1,050 ft)
to the head of the travertine terraces and
deposits calcium carbonate on a section 60 to
70 metres (200 to 230 ft) long covering an
expanse of 24 metres (79 ft) to 30 metres
(98 ft). When the water, supersaturated
with calcium carbonate, reaches the
surface, carbon dioxide de-gasses from it, and
calcium carbonate is deposited. Calcium
carbonate is deposited by the water as a
Mount bramo
soft gel which eventually crystallizes into
travertine.
Travertine terraces at a hot spring at Pamukkale
There are only a few historical facts known
about the origin of the city. No traces of the
presence of Hittites or Persians have been
found. The Phrygians built a temple, probably in
the first half of the 7th century BC. This temple,
originally used by the citizens of the nearby
town of Laodicea, would later form the centre
of Hierapolis.
15
MOUNTBRAMO(Indonesian a
nd Javanese: Gunung Bromo)
is an active somma
volcano and part of
the Tengger mountains,
in East Java, Indonesia. At
2,329 meters (7,641 feet) it is
not the highest peak of the
massif, but the most famous.
The area is one of the most
visited tourist destinations in
East Java, and the volcano is
included in the Bromo
Tengger Semeru National
Park. The name Bromo
comes from the Javanese
pronunciation of Brahma, the
Hindu god of creation.
Mount Bromo is located in
the middle of a plain called
"Sea of Sand" (Javanese:
Segara Wedi or Indonesian:
Lautan Pasir), a nature
reserve that has been
protected since 1919.
A typical way to visit Mount
Bromo is from the nearby
mountain village of Cemoro
Lawang. From there it is
possible to walk to the
volcano in about 45 minutes,
but it is also possible to take
an organized jeep tour,
including stops at the
viewpoint of Mount
Penanjakan (2,770 m or
9,088 ft) (Indonesian:
Gunung Penanjakan). The
sights on Mount Penanjakan
can also be reached on foot
in about two hours.
Depending on the level of
volcanic activity, the
Indonesian Center for
Volcanology and Disaster
Mitigation sometimes issues
a warning not to visit Mount
Bromo.
