Galileo Pakistan Takes its Peshawar Agency Users to a Night Excursion at Attock Khurd


Peshawar: April 19, 2008

Galileo Pakistan’s Peshawar office organized the first of its kind FAM (Familiarization) Trip for its customers by taking them to ‘Night Excursion’ at Attock Khurd. 


60 Galileo users and prominent names from Peshawar’s travel market, accompanied by Mr. Khurram Tufail, Manager Sales and Support North, Galileo Pakistan, embarked upon the journey to Attock in evening. The travelers passed through various scenic towns on their way and finally stopped at the bank of river Indus, where stands the grand Attock Bridge. 


Attock Bridge carries a unique importance in the history and geography of Pakistan as two significant rivers: Indus and Kabul converge at this point. The bridge built in 1880 AD, is one of the few bridges in the world where the railway line is spread overhead and the roadway goes underneath. Further, the site carries the historical Attock Fort, built by the Mughal Emperor Jalal-ud-Din Akbar in 16th century. 


The visitors did not only enjoy the live performance of Pashto folk music: ‘Tang Takor’ but also appreciated the ‘ Light Dinner’ served according to the NWFP customs, following a group photography session with Mr. Zahoor Durrani, Managing Director Sehrai Tours Operator. 


Col. Liaquat Ali Shah, Manager North Galileo Pakistan commented:” Familiarization trips play an important role in sharing the history and culture of Pakistan, with our customers. We always strive to delight our trade partners by taking them to new sites and today’s trip is yet another example”.
