Outdoor activities have always been an integral part of Panjabi culture. The region's diverse landscape, with its majestic mountains, lush green fields, and beautiful rivers, offers numerous opportunities for outdoor adventures. Panjabi people have a deep connection with nature and take pride in preserving and appreciating its beauty.
