The Asian Study Group (www.asianstudygroup.org) is a voluntary, apolitical, non-profit and non-hierarchic organization. It was formed in Islamabad in the early 1970s to enable members of the community, both foreign and Pakistani, to learn more about the culture, geography, history, religions, environment, crafts and customs of the Asian region in general, and of Pakistan in particular.

Lectures, discussion meetings and other events are organised regularly. Trips to various parts of Pakistan are arranged throughout the year. Hikes are taken in the nearby hills, and walks in various regions provide an opportunity to observe local plants and wildlife.

Adventure Club
