Common Hobbies In Pakistan  

Pakistani people are known for their loving and hospitable nature. Mostly they like to spend their free time with their loved ones. Having chitchat to do during tea break or on a walk is common and precious for them. If you have a chance to live in Pakistan for any purpose, you must be curious about the nature of the Pakistani people, including their preferences for hobbies, and much more. So without further ado, let’s learn about the most common hobbies of the Pakistani people.

Calligraphy

Calligraphy is an impressive and terrific art. An art that demands mastery in pen holding. The Pakistani people are pretty skillful in calligraphy and have a keen interest in making beautiful Islamic calligraphies.

Reading

When it comes to book reading, a large number of Pakistanis are engaged in this hobby. The people of Pakistan mostly like to read books with a traditional touch, following the pattern of the modern world. As a learner, you can master Urdu by reading books by practicing word synonyms, opposite words, and other related words.

Horse Riding

Horse riding is a traditional hobby in Pakistan and India and is one of the locals’ favorites. Not just the adults, it is also a part of the child’s plaything consisting of an imitation horse mounted on rockers the child straddles.

Imitation Horse Mounted On Rockers

Even the children love this since every child has at least one imitation horse mounted on rockers in their childhood. Every child always straddles the rocker, pretending to be a national hero. The memories of rockers the child straddles in Pakistan stick throughout their lifetime.

Ever heard of لکڑی کا گھوڑا (lakri ka ghora)? That’s what the native speakers like to call this: a horse made of wood.

If a child in your vicinity has their birthday and you are not sure what to get them, then maybe you should get them a rocker and sword, we guarantee you that they’ll love it.

Bird’s Racing

Pakistani people have a hobby of raising pets and having them participate in several races. One of the favorite birds is the falcon and other small birds, which are fostered and trained by them.

It used to be quite famous in the local areas, but now people have their lives preoccupied and hence don’t take part in it anymore. This trend is mostly seen in the Feudal areas where the Feuds or hunters tend to still do this.

Bird’s Hunting

A bird called Hobby is a small old-world falcon, formerly trained and flown in different areas of Pakistan to attack and get small birds. In Urdu, the word باز (baaz) is used for falcon. 

With all of these, many other hobbies are adored in Pakistan. Everyday auxiliary activities lead you to a healthy and happy life.

Wrapping Up

That’s it for this blog post, and if you want to learn more valuable concepts in the Urdu language, then you should learn with the Ling App.

Why learn with Ling App? Look at these top three reasons and thank me later!

  • On most language learning apps, you can find domain-specific information. They would either tell you about the linguistic complexities, about Pakistan as a country or maybe give cultural info only. While on Ling App, you obtain a perfect package of all things related to Pakistan. Be it language, political, or cultural information; we have everything for you.
  • Unlike most apps, which either have too less or too much information, Ling App tends to have precise translations and lessons that are easy to follow for a complete beginner. The best thing is that the lessons are written well and ensure that you won’t go zoning out. Not too short, not too long, just the right amount of information!
  • And finally, the best part is that it has all the modes a learner will need to learn. You might be a book person; we have blog posts and reading material for you. You might be a video-centric person; we have videos and podcasts to help you with that. Or maybe you are a games person and only learn through the gamification of the lessons; we have quizzes, flashcards, and a lot more for you to learn from.
