Where is Kasur on map

Imagine a map of Pakistan in your mind, now let your eyes wander to the northeastern region of the country, just south of the bustling city of Lahore. There, resting near the mighty Sutlej River, you'll find the historic city of Kasur. Just a proverbial stone's throw away from the India-Pakistan border, it existed long before borders were even a thing. Its roots are distinct yet intertwined with the branches of ancient civilizations, with stories echoing through time.

How big is Kasur

Now, you might be expecting a sprawling metropolis, but Kasur resides comfortably on the smaller side of the city scale. It covers an area of approximately 3,995 square kilometers. To give you a fun perspective, stack 3,995,000 football fields side by side, and you'd have an idea of Kasur's size. Not exactly small, but not overwhelmingly large either, Kasur is like the iconic bowl of porridge from Goldilocks - just right. It combines the charm of a quaint town with the vitality of a city ever on the rise.

How many people live in Kasur

The city has learned to accommodate its expanding populace beautifully, creating a vibrant mosaic of various tribes, communities, and professions over the centuries. As of the latest census, Kasur is home to about 3.4 million people. That's almost as many people as there are stars visible to the naked eye! (Don't quote me on that, but you get the idea.) Each resident adds their unique flavor to the rich cultural broth that Kasur is renowned for, making it a colorful potpourri of traditions, stories, and connections. From the street merchant selling aromatic biryani to the artisan crafting beautiful Pottery, each person is a thread in the intricate tapestry of Kasur. In essence, Kasur is more than just coordinates on a map or numbers in a census; it's a living, breathing entity housing stories as diverse as its people.

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
