Lal Sohanra National Park sits on the edge of the Cholistan Desert near Bahawalpur, combining desert, forest and wetland habitats within a single protected area. It's known for its population of blackbuck, along with a range of resident and migratory bird species that make use of the park's lake and wetland zones. The mix of ecosystems within one park is unusual for the region, making it a useful stop for anyone interested in Pakistan's desert wildlife rather than its historic architecture.
