INTRODUCTION: 

 Cholistan Jeep Rally event arranged by TDCP( Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab) started from the the year 2005 and it got fame very rapidly. The main reason behind this was to promote southern Punjab tourist locations so that the tourists finds it an interesting destination, to show the world the history of of Cholistan and a way to introduce motor sports in Pakistan but I find only motor jeeps there nothing else.The event is annually run in the Cholistan Desert venue.  The rally helds near the Derawar Fort in Bahawalpur.
Derawar Fort


Cholistan is locally known as Rohi. This majestic desert is 30 Km away from Bahawalpur, and comprises an area of approximately 16K sq.km, which extends up to the Thar Desert, and over to Sindh. Camel and Jeep Safaris would be the most suitable ways to travel in this desert and Tours in the Cholistan Desert give tourists the opportunity to learn and experience an adventurous life.The Jeep Rally affords an opportunity to visit Derawar Fort, the most famous among the many ancient forts that are located in the Cholistan Desert.
