It was once believed that the civilization in this part of Asia which consists of the countries like India, Pakistan and some other countries as well, begun with the Aryan civilization. But the notion was refuted by the discovery of Harappa.

This place is so far regarded as the most ancient civilization in the whole of Asia. The major centers for this civilization were the ancient cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. There are several archaeological sites in Harappa and their number is higher than that of what have been discovered in Mohenjo-Daro.

The whole civilization was established by the side of the river Indus. That is why this civilization was formerly called the Indus Valley Civilization. But with the greater amount of archaeological evidences in Harappa it was concluded by the researchers that the main center of this civilization was the ancient city of Harappa. So, later on the name of the civilization was changed to Harappan Civilization. The evidences that have been found in Harappa are amazing because they all represent the height of the technology that was used by the dwellers in the Indus valley. The buildings and the public bath made with real bricks, the underground drainage system all will just puzzle you to believe the height of progress they had with science and technology. So, there are lots of researchers and students coming to this place everyday. The hotels in Harappa have all the arrangements that are needed for the foreign tourists.

So, if you are heading to spend a vacation in Pakistan, the name of Harappa must not be missed out of the itinerary that you will follow during the tour of Pakistan.
