A Stroll in Lahore


Lahore was a busy, vibrant and lively city full of vehicles, motor ricksas, bicycles, horse and donkey carts, with all the honkings added as background.

Since the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) incident, there were many polices stationed all around town, especially outside the major mosques, it was actually good to avoid wlking near them as they were always the easy target for suicide bombers.

There were many small stores along the streets in old city, selling all sorts of things like spices, food, cigarettes etc. Some building were in old indian styles which was very interesting. On the streets there were also horses, donkeys, goats, cattle etc, some goats were dyed with star-pattern by using henna. From old city it was easy to access to Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort.
