Abstract

Landscape is an external face of a region that represents not just the flora and fauna of the region rather the history, civilization, and cultural values as well. Each bit of the scene of a landscape, no matter natural or cultural, comes to imbibe, build, or evolve some specific meanings. Those meanings are generally established in the context of the history, culture, religion, and beliefs prevalent in that region. Literary writings have been representing and navigating both kinds of landscapes with all their diversity. Any voracious reader would endorse that among all others, the genre of travelogue stands atop in describing, narrating, and traversing landscapes of any region or place. The rivers, forests, deserts, lands, mountains, flowers, gardens, buildings, mosques, and tombs of saints appearing in the Urdu travelogues about Pakistan help us trace and trail the cultural varieties, and diverse histories of the region. In this paper, the author had tried to explore the cultural identity of the country through the Urdu travelogues of Pakistan.
