Where have you been? Where do you want to go?
What do you want to see? What are your memories attached to?
Where do you want to take your kids one day?
Share your fondest memories of monuments you have been to.
P.S - some of you who consider FOOD STREET as a national monument, I totally get you 
Is it this
or this
or this
or this
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Arleitter - I have been to Mohenjadaro and Harappa.
The ruins were huge. I was too young to appriciate their true beauty but thought it made a swell place to play tag with my cousins.

Have you guys been you Shahi Mosque in Thatta. Beautiful place.

^ have never been to Thatha.
Hey is Thattha that place where you get those hand made pottery and marble decoration pieces??? If yes then yes we did stop on that place while coming from Abottabad. We deliberately took that route just coz we wanted to buy some clay pottery and marble decoration pieces n even house hold.

i've been to 5 continents and the best place to me is undoubtedly the Taj...the glory the magnificience, the greatness is unbelievable. u feel like u are back in time and feel the love shahjahan had for his beloved Mumtaz Mahal
btw, do you guyz know the across the river Jamuna facing the Taj is an unfinished monument which was supposed to be the black tajmahal. before shahjahan could start the construction, his eldest son, aurangzeb, imprisoned him and stopped the construction coz he thought his father was plundering the people's wealth.

Bashahi Masjid Lahore
Shahi Qila Lahore
Shalimar Gardens
Shah Jehan's masjid in Thatta
I would like to see, Taxilla, Mohenjo Daro, Harrapa and many more places I haven't had a chance to visit.
Like Lal Qila in Dehli
the palaces in Rajisthan
Lucknow
