      As of 03/2015, although no NOC is required, foreigners are not allowed to stay in Budget Hotels and are requested to stay in PTDC Motel. Also, you will get questioned by ISI people and the local police, the police insisting that it is too dangerous for you to walk around unaccompanied. You will get a police escort and be limited in your movements. The police escort consisted of 3 armed guards, the English speaking police officer and the jeep driver - for one foreigner.

      It is not advisable to stay overnight in Bahawalpur unless you are willing to spend a lot of money and get up at 6 AM to escape the officials (and leave the same evening).

      New Bahawalpur Hotel, Inside Ahmad Puri Gate, Shahzadi Chowk.
      Single room 350rs
      062-2876191

      *A good place to stay in the city. Now showing its age the PTDC is in a quiet cul-de-sac near the museum and library.

      *A good hotel on a busy junction - easily reachable from airport, railway station and any bus service - rooms have a/c and en suite - Attached is quite big restaurant with good food. Worth for

      *Aging hotel near the centre of town. Rooms OK but a/c doesn't work when the hotel is running on its generator. Ask for a room away from the street.

      Cholistan Desert of Bahawalpur - You can make an intersting and worthwile excursion from Bahawalpur, a half day trip (no four-wheel drive vehicle required) to Derawar Fort (Qila Derawar), through the semi-desert of Cholistan. Best to take a guide for Derawar fort - although with a GPS and a pre-planned route you could self drive.

      As of 03/2015, you do not need permission from the present Amir of Bahawalpur to get inside the fort anymore. It is now open to tourists and heavily frequented by Pakistani tourists. Entrance fee is around 50 Rs for Locals, 100 Rs for foreigners - but you will not get a receipt for it and prices seemed arbitrary. There were no guards inside the fort. Be careful if you are a woman and walk alone into the old buildings, you may find yourself all of a sudden surrounded by 30 men staring at you and creating a menacing atmosphere.

      The drive takes two hours on a sealed road through fasinating barren landscape. The Cholistan Desert covers 26,000 sq km (10,000 sq miles) and extends into the Thar desert to India. The whole area was once well watered by the river Ghaggar, now called the Hakara in Pakistan, and known in vedic times as the Sarasvati. All along the 500 km (300 miles) of the dried-up river are over 400 archaeological sites. Most of these date from the Indus civilisation, 45,00 years ago, and are clustered round Derawar Fort, the only perennial water hole in the desert.

      There is very little to make out today. The desert has an average rainfall of 12 cm (5 inches) a year, and there is very little civilisation. The underground water is brackish. The few people of the desert dig artificial wells in the troughs between the sand hills and use camels to draw the water up.

      * Fort Darawar- Derawar Fort (Qila Derawar) is in good condition, its walls are intact and still guarded by soldiers in fezes. Its age is unknown. The tombs of the Amirs of Bahawalpur are also at Derawar, decorated with attractive blue glazed tiles contrasting with the ochre landscape. Some of the cannons which were used times ago by the Army of Bahawalpur are also kept in this fort.
