GORAKH HILLS ; SHIMSHAL ; SHAH JAHAN MOSQUE !

10. GORAKH HILLS

Hills in the desert… Yup, the Gorakh Hill Station is located in Sindh, but is certainly elevated as a part of the Kirthar Mountains. At 1,734 metres (5,689 feet), the top of the hills provide some of the most beautiful views in Southern Pakistan. This is the perfect spot for a weekend camping trip.

Gorakh Hills are about 8 hours from Karachi, but only 2 to 3 hours from the city of Dadu, making the latter a better place to start your journey. There is no public transport, but there are a few rest houses for anyone who isn’t looking to pitch a tent.

11. SHIMSHAL

Though a bit out of the way compared to some of the other beautiful tourist places in Pakistan featured on this list, Shimshal Valley is well worth the effort required to reach it. The locale is known for being a major adventure destination that’s particularly popular amongst climbers and mountaineers.

But Shimshal isn’t just one of the most beautiful places in Pakistan for adrenaline junkies. The village itself is divine come summer. Incredibly, it almost exclusively relies on solar energy! Easier short treks to nearby yak pastures can also be arranged, as can just simply wandering around and enjoying the epic vistas and fields of mustard-yellow flowers.

12. SHAH JAHAN MOSQUE

Thought all the Mughal relics were in Punjab? Think again! The Shah Jahan Mosque – also known as the Jamia Masjid – is located in Thatta, a town in Pakistan’s Sindh province. It’s widely known for having the most elaborate display of tile work in all of South Asia. Blue and sandstone colours adorn the interior of the mosque and are sure to wow all who visit.

The mosque was commissioned by Shah Jahan when he sought refuge in Thatta back in 1647 and somehow remains in amazing shape today. Though Sindh might seem to be a far cry from the mountains, the immaculate artistry present here makes it one of the most beautiful tourist places in Pakistan.

WHAT IS ROBOTICS ?   The intersection of engineering, technology & science that generates machines is known as   Robotics . These are a substitute for human actions and it is used to perform different tasks usually by human beings. Robots are extensively used in different industries to perform different tasks like automobile manufacture, in hazardous environments to humans. The main   feature of robotics   includes artificial intelligence; human senses like touch, vision, & the capacity to detect temperature. Some kinds of robots are capable of making a simple decision. In engineering,  Robotics  is one kind of branch that involves the design, conception, assembly, & operation.  This field partly covers computer science, electronics, mechatronics, artificial intelligence, bio-engineering & nanotechnology. The main benefits of using Robots are, They never hurt human beings. They follow the rules from humans without delay. They protect th...

  What is artificial intelligence?   Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world. Remarkable surges in AI capabilities have led to a wide range of innovations including autonomous vehicles and connected Internet of Things devices in our homes. AI is even contributing to the development of a brain-controlled robotic arm that can help a paralyzed person feel again through complex direct human-brain interfaces. These new AI-enabled systems are revolutionizing and benefitting nearly all aspects of our society and economy – everything from commerce and healthcare to transportation and cybersecurity. But the development and use of the new technologies it brings are not without technical challenges and risks.  While a number of definitions of artificial intelligence (AI) have surfaced over the last few decades, John McCarthy offers the following definition in this 2004  paper  (PDF, 106 KB) (link resides outside IBM), " It is the science and engineer...
