Geocache Description:


Second ever geocache in Lahore!?

I'd hidden one here, so why not two? Hidden at the other end of these beautiful gardens, a sort distance behind Asaf Khan's tomb.

Please cover well when you put it back.

Asaf Khan was Jahangir's brother-in-law and governor of the Punjab at the time of the emperor's death in 1627. When Asaf Khan died in 1641, he held the post of Commander-in-Chief under Shah Jahan, who ordered the construction of the tomb immediately to the west of the forecourt of Jahangir's tomb. The extent of Asaf Khan's square garden was set by the forecourt's 300-gaz-long western wall. It is exactly one-quarter of the size of Jahangir's tomb. The octagonal tomb rests in a chahar bagh with water channels and walkways. The walls were once covered with glazed tiles and there was marble facing on the dome. The dome has an unusual profile of the sort which was used in the tomb of Hamza Ghaus in Sialko
